5.5" Lift, steering.
Welp, tomorrow I'll have my new track-bar on, but I've noticed that my drag-link wasn't parallel with it in the first place, looked like it needed to be dropped a little. So, if the new track-bar doesn't fix my sloppy steering, would a drop pitman arm help? I have a 5.5" lift overall.

If by sloppy you mean loose steering then no it won't.
Correcting to keep the angles close cuts down on bumpsteer so that as the suspension flexes the axle moves in sync with the steering.

I know OTK is great, but like I said- I want my front swaybar, and I can't weld, and I don't want to pay someone to weld for me either.

Just a quick update- I installed the trac-bar- took care of all my steering woes! Didn't think it would fix it, but hey it did, so awesome. Was a PITA breaking the torque on the bolts for the mount on the unibody though- locktite+11 years=That bolt won't move- I broke a freakin breaker bar trying to pry it loose, AFTER soaking it with P B'laster!

If you are considering buying anything from him, shoot him a PM, I guarantee he will be more than happy to help out in any way.
