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 just took it for a test drive. when i turn back and forth it pops out from underneith and pops back under. it rubs there is negative clearance.

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
