Who makes them for FSJs? Do all FSJs use the same one and is there s difference between one for a CJ and one for a wagoneer? Most places ive seen didnt list them for FSJs and if they did they were more expensive. Are most all 3", 4" drop or is there a 6" drop?

Rusty's Offroad sells one for FSJ's. It is a 4 inch drop and sells for $65. As far as I know, there is no 6 inch drop made for the FSJ's

I didnt think there was a 6"... I mostly am hoping to find out the difference between a wagoneer one and one from a CJ or some other jeep.

There is a 6" one from Parts Mike (http://www.partsmikeparts.com), it's not listed on the site, but i e-mailed him and he has them, but they run about $159

CJ one is different (what i've heard) IIRC the Ford ones are right though.

Skyjacker has a 4" DPA. 4WheelParts has them for about $60 I believe.

Evan FSJ, they are different. 74 WAG is right also. The FSJ drop pitman arm is from a Ford.

A 6 inch drop! I wonder if it is re-enforced somehow? I know the 4 inch drop that I have on mine is one heavy duty pig. Anybody ever seen one of these? A picture would be great!

So if I pick up a Ford DPA from approximately the same year it'll work on the Cherokee? (1974)

The Cj arm is a little lighter duty and the hole wre you bolt to the drag lick is smaller. It is also shorter from the box the drag link. I have been using Skyjacker brand arms on both my j-truck and my Cj's. I have been happy with them. They are retty stought.

Well, i e-mail Mike, and asked if he had any pictures, and this is what he said.

"Tom, it is the highest priced one I have $169.00 + shipping. This fits J series and Wagoneers."

lol

So i mailed him back asking for PICTURES. We will see that happens.

That 69 looks better in person than in the picture actualy, as you would know(still ugly). I think it would look good with a flat bed and 54" tires. I have a couple rino grils so it would look better with a grill. The rust is mainly bad on the hood but looke like it is surfice rust going bad. Well thats a future project.
Looks like im going to switch to hydroboost on the 74 because the caddy 500 valve cover leaves only 8" for a vacume booster. I also need a rear sump oil pan. This week I got the motor mounts mostly done just hafto weld them up.
Maybe this week it will stop raining and I will remember to take some pictures.
