The problem here is that while the SJ arm has only 1" of drop, the
stock YJ arm has 2" of drop, and most lifted rigs want more drop
than that.  Swapping in an SJ arm is moving the wrong direction.

The length difference could be significant, or not.  I't too lazy right
now to run out to my driveway and compare my Wag's & YJ's steerings.
