Description

The Tuff Country 70500 Drop Pitman Arm is a heavy‑duty steering component designed for pickups equipped with a 4–6 inch lift. It’s specifically built to reduce bump steer and restore precise steering on lifted Ram trucks, helping you maintain confident handling both on- and off-road.

  • Drop geometry: Engineered to correct steering angles for 4–6" lift applications, minimizing bump steer for more predictable steering.
  • Material & finish: Built from durable steel and finished with black powder coat for corrosion resistance and long life in harsh conditions.
  • Lift compatibility: Designed to work with 4" to 6" suspensions, improving alignment and steering response on lifted trucks.
  • Direct replacement: Replaces the factory pitman arm with a straightforward bolt‑on installation, preserving factory steering geometry where possible.
  • Brand reliability: From Tuff Country, a trusted name in off‑road suspension and steering components, engineered to endure demanding use.

When you install the 70500 Drop Pitman Arm, you gain improved steering control as suspension height increases. The drop design helps maintain proper drag‑link alignment, reduces wandering at speed, and enhances overall driveability for lifted Ram trucks and other suitable full‑size pickups. Its durable finish and construction stand up to off‑road guts and daily driving alike, making it a practical upgrade for anyone seeking steadier, more confidence-inspiring steering after lifting their vehicle.
