Sway bar just keeps the vehicle from swaying horribly when turning. Its there to jeep the axle as parallel to the vehicle as possible, no other reason.

That is too much for a pitman arm. Depending on what you want you can get a ZJ pitman (I think its about a 1" drop) from the JY for about $10

Rusty's off road carries 3" drop for about $160

And 218 is waaayyy too much. You can get a good one for like 60 bucks I think.

Try looking for a track bar drop bracket. Only problem is most of the drop brackets are for double shear track bars, and with the drop bracket youll have to get a brace, or the bracket will move in and out when you turn the steering wheel.

^Heres a nice one for a 4.5" lift. Looks exactly like my RE one except they painted the brace black. Kinda pricey though.

what about just getting a double shear TB?
or would it be easier to find a bracket that would fit mine?

If you get a double shear TB you have to get a new mount for it, because its a completely different mounting method.

I'm not sure if any companies make a drop bracket for a single shear TB.

Well, you could look for one on google, if you don't find one you could always build one. But personally I would upgrade to the double shear anyways. Its stronger and it adds some nice bling to your ride
