If memory serves me a ZJ arm will give you a 1.5" drop.

So you have checked your castor angle, alignment, and adjusted your steering box, not to mention a new track bar bushing?

Also if you change the pitman arm you need to change the angle of the track bar to match the angle or you will get bump steer.
