Ford Pitman Arm

The SKYJACKER Ford Pitman Arm (FA300) is an OEM-design replacement steering component engineered for Ford full-size trucks and SUVs from 1966 through 1979. This pitman arm is built to work seamlessly within lift kits ranging from 4 to 6 inches, maintaining proper steering geometry and response as suspension height increases. Constructed from steel with a natural finish, this component restores correct steering linkage angles when a vehicle has been lifted, preventing excessive wear on tie rods and maintaining predictable on-road handling characteristics.

When a truck or SUV suspension is elevated, the pitman arm's original position creates incorrect steering alignment angles. The SKYJACKER FA300 pitman arm compensates for this geometry change by repositioning the steering linkage connection point relative to the lifted frame. The steel construction and OE-pattern design ensure compatibility with factory tie rods and drag links, eliminating the need for additional steering components. Proper pitman arm selection is critical—incorrect geometry leads to bump steer, increased tire wear, and steering feel degradation over time.

This pitman arm is designed for builders and restorers working on classic Ford full-size platforms—Broncos, F-Series trucks, and equivalent models—that are being lifted with suspension kits. Whether performing a modern lift-kit installation on a vintage chassis or restoring a truck that has already been modified, verifying that steering geometry matches your specific lift height is essential. The FA300 addresses the 4-to-6-inch lift range, the most common elevation height for vehicles of this era seeking improved ground clearance without extreme modifications.

SKYJACKER has positioned itself as a suspension specialist for classic trucks and SUVs, and pitman arm engineering is fundamental to any proper lift installation. Before purchase, verify your vehicle's year and model against the 1966–1979 Ford full-size specifications, and confirm that your planned or existing lift height falls within the 4-to-6-inch range to ensure correct steering performance.
