i just put a 6.5 inch long arm on my 2000 cherokee and i definetley need to do something with my stock steering set up, it runs right into the sway bar mount on the axle when i turn the wheel completley right. i was wondering what would be the best option and where to get a steering upgrade that would fit me well. please help

you probably need a drop pitman arm

how much drop? You can get them up to like 3"

its the one that came with rough countrys kit. but i heard the ZJ pitman arms are alot lower

even rusty's OTK system requires you to cut and reposition the sway bar brackets.

you could just cut and move your brackets yourself, but for that much lift, you probably want a steering upgrade anyways.
maybe skip a step or two and look into a hydro setup, or at least a currie setup.

ZJ pitman arms are only a 1" drop I think. Rusty has a 3" drop arm for $160. That is the one they include with their 6" lift kit.

I can't find how much the RC pitman arm drops...
