At that price it can't be any more than a 1 inch drop which is what the ZJ pitman arm is over a stock XJ unit. The other piece from the ZJ steering that is an upgrade is the tie rod, but only from the V8 models. The 6 cylinders have the same tie rod as a XJ. The stock XJ piece is made of rolled sheet metal and is easily bent when off road with oversized tires. The V8 ZJ tie rod is a solid steel piece with thicker tie rod ends that can handle much more abuse and is a direct bolt in swap requiring no modifications.

How is it not enough? Do you know that for sure?

Mines stock on 6.5@ and it's ok but a 1" drop for mine would do it prolly more than needed.
