6.5 lift pitman arm question
Just ordered a iron rock long arm lift and it doesn't have a pitman arm with the kit.called iron rock and they said I need a inch drop pitman to go with the double sheer track bar . I've seen all over the Web that I need any were from a 1.5 drop to 5 so anyone gone through what I am for some first had info on this.1 inch drop doesn't seem to be enough to get my ish parallel. Thanks guys

I would think they would know exactly what pitman arm drop was required with their Track Bar and go with that, after they made it. Just ask if they warranty any damage arising from use of the "1" drop arm Only" with the Track Bar.

I just emailed them asking what pitman was needed and they said that the kit doesn't require one but max I should go is a 1 inch drop to keep things parallel. I donno I'm gonna trust there word sense it is there kit .so we'll see . Should get the lift thursday.Yeeeee.

Don't add a pitman drop if you don't need to. And a ZJ pitman is 1" drop when used on an XJ.
Once you have it all installed check your angles and decide then, you'll likely find its not needed.

I am running the same lift kit you are talking about and I ordered a new skyjacker pitman arm from Quadratec. Couldn't ask for things to be any more in line.
