my draglink - tierod connection rubs against my swaybar disconnect.
i was thinking a drop pitman arm would fix this but i wanted to hear from someone more experienced.
EDIT: i forgot to add. this is a 96xj with a 6.5" lift 31" tires and stock steering.

i was thinking about going otk with a drop pitman arm. i hear otk raises stearing by i think it was 2 or 3 inches i cant remember. + 2 1/2 inch pitman arm drop = 4-5.5" which is 1" less then stock. hopefuly i did that all right.

It doesn't look like it rubs much at all. Call the "ethics" police on me, but if it were me i'd just move/bend back the swaybar mount/pin just a a couple mm's and call it a day.

I'm sure someone on here will burn you for Sayin that but that's probably what I'd do. But a drop pitman will do the job
