Default Alignment question?

I have a 3 inch lift. I used spacers for the front. I also installed a pro comp adjustable trac bar. I need to find longer sway bar links and possibly a drop pitman arm??? Im running 31x10.50's but have not yet had an alignment. Should i get a drop pitman arm? Im assuming the alignment should be done using diff specs?

I don't think you need the dropped pitman arm for a 3" lift. You really should get the front end aligned though, the toe will be off quite a bit and will cause goofy handling.

a relocation bracket would have accomplished the same thing for a lot less than the new trac bar... too late now, but ya know...

x2 on the drop pitman arm and not needing it...

yes, the specs are dif. when lifted.

what did you use to lift the rear? please dont say you blocked it

I bought a trac bar for 50 bux brand new in box. Guy had it and didnt need it. I used skyjacker leafs in the back found them in a junkyard they looked like new.
