Drop Pitman Arm (XJ)

[Cherokee-MP]

My XJ is lifted 4.25 Inches in the front and i was wondering what the consequences would be for not installing a dropped Pitman Arm would be... I also put off the adjustable track bar but i know the track bar isnt as a big of a deal... I Appreciate any and all help :o

Potential for bump steer. but You could over come that by installing some steering stabilizers like this guy did. :D

It totally depends on your suspension and drag link geometry, not the amount of lift over stock.

Just try it. If you are comfortable with the way it drives, drive it. If you do not like it, you can change it easily.

I believe a ZJ pitman arm will offer a bit of drop. Maybe .5 to 1". Bolts right up to the box and drag link. FYI.

Yes this is true.. Start with the adjustable track bar first... also, replace all worn steering somponents.. Your life is in your hands!!!
