Ken, yes that could be one benefit. I am working on a spoa cross over
steering conversion that will use 2 steering arms bolted to the knuckle
tops. The steering ratio will change with both drag link and tie rod going
above the leaf springs while getting closer to the C/L of the ball joint. I
hope to restore that ratio with a pitman arm length change.
