Default PORC Trackbar???

I'm just looking for some insight on PORC's double shear trackbar and trackbar bracket kit. I've been shopping for an adjustable trackbar for a while and their product looks good. Has anyone used this product on their jeep? What are your thoughts/opinions? I know RC's double shear trackbar kit says it requires a drop pitman arm to fit, which kind of turned me away from their product. Does the PORC kit require a drop pitman arm? Or do all double shear trackbar kits w/ relocation brackets require a drop pitman arm? I'm trying to get the most for my money, so don't suggest I get a JKS bar or something. I'm searching for the right part in the same price range as RC/PORC's products or any others in that price range (about $130-150)Thanks in advance for your help!

Initially RC's product was the one I was going to get for sure. Although on their site it says the kit requires the installation of their drop pitman arm as well. That brings the total price to over $180! Why would the drop pitman arm be needed? And why don't other manufacturers suggest using a drop pitman arm with their double shear kits?

well PORC uses the EXACT same picture as RC does for their tracbar/bracket so its safe to say they are the same unit. companies say you need a DPA cause you are dropping the location of the tracbar, thus making the steering to tracbar angle not parallel which they need to be.
