Do i need a drop pitman arm?
I have RE 4.5" coils, shocks and double shear track bar up front.
I'm replacing the steering box with a Durango box so I thought I'd add a pitman arm while I was at it, if I need it.
Not 100% sure on the geometry thing.
Here are a few pics of my setup.

No, the bar that is diagonal in the picture. It's black and it's on the top left of the first picture and top right on bottom picture. Every XJ has it but idk what it's called. If you look at it in person it runs horizontal

Lol, your killing me.
To answer ops question. From the 2nd pic it looks like you may need a 1 inch or so drop, but in the first pic its looks ok.
Need a pic from the front of the jeep looking straight back. The drag link and track bar need to be perpendicular, or line up with each other. Otherwise you will get a lot of wondering and possibly death wobble.
