pitman arm problem

[NintyEight-XLT]

I know this probably came up a few times before, but none of the other threads were useful for my situation.

First off my truck is a 95 2wd ranger, I just put a 4" suspension lift on and the kit came with a drop pitman arm. I have been working on taking the pitman arm off but it wont budge, I broke two pitman arm pullers: mine and the murrays rental tool. I tried to heat the pitman arm with a propane torch and that didnt work. I tried beating the pitman arm with a B.F.H. off and on while trying to use the puller.
So is there anything I am missing or not doing when I try to get the pitman arm off? Would I be fine without using the drop pitman arm the I got with the lift kit?

any help would be great, Thanks!

Sounds like you're doing everything right...have you tried spraying some kind of penetrant like PB Blaster on the pitman arm? If not, give it a good dousing and let it soak in a few hours or even overnight then try again. Propane might not be hot enough, get some mapp gas since that burns hotter.

I sprayed it down a few times with the PB Blaster.
Thanks

Update, I got the pitman arm off, I rented another puller (third one being used) and used a bunch of PB blaster and wd-40, a BFH, and then hit the top-ish of the pitman arm about 20 times and the pitman arm came off. Then I got the drop pitman arm on, next thing to do is the brake line and then get all new drag link cause its all sloppy. Then maybe, just mayb I will be able to drive it for a while.
