I agree, a short pitman arm is the way to go for easy steering.
However, I have gone the other way with a longer one on my F100 box along with a linear controlled power assist cylinder.
It gives me 3/4 turn lock to lock which is ideal for the type of driving I have come to enjoy most of late. Going FAST down dirt logging roads. I can see why rally racers do what they do.
