pitman arm has nothing to do with the track bar. Track bar is not part of the steering. It goes from the frame to the axle to keep the axle centered under the jeep. Yes, you will need either an adjustable or to relocate the mounting location of your stock one.

Thanks, i had no clue. How would i relocate it then, would it require a lot of welding? I dont know anything about the track bar so thats why ive got all the questions.

no welding necessary. if you drop the pitman arm 1", than the tracbar needs to be dropped the same. honestly, you dont even need the drop pitman arm. just get a good frame side bracket and good adjustable tracbar, like the rubicon express package. either way, i will NEED an adjustable tracbar.
