Ok so I'm trying to straighten the mess that the PO of my 98xj made. Currently it has 4.5 inch coils and 2 inch spacers. Going to be installing 6.5 inch coils I'm pulling from a wrecked xj I have.

I'll be posting several pics following this. So I have a drop trac bar mount and a drop pitman. Drag link is at much less of an angle than the trac. They nearly cross over one another. The jeep I'm pulling the 6.5 coils from has the drag and trac angled exactly perpendicular with one another. It looks as though it has all factory steering, trac bar and mount, drag link and tie rod. Only thing I'm not sure of is if the pitman is stock size.

By looking at the pics can anyone help me figure out what drop I need on the pitman arm? The drop bracket is RC with a RC adjustable trac bar. Not sure how far a drop it is exactly. I know I don't want to go any lower with that.

I feel I should get a shorter pitman but I think stock will be too short. Anyone have the drop bracket with 6.5 coils? If so how far is the pitman dropped?

Thanks all

 

Sorry, pics were taken I the dark. Jeep I need to straighten out

 

Same

 

Trac drop

 

Better shot at pitman arm

 

Now the one I'm pulling suspension from. Nice relative angles.

 

Stock pitman??

 

No insight from anyone?

 

if you have a parts jeep with angles that your happy with why not use that setup?

 

Only because it has 6.5 inch lift coils and stock trac bar and such. The axle has got to be shifted to the driver side. The only good thing is that the trac bar and drag link are at the same angle. The angle they are both at though are a little too steep.

I want my trac bar to stay low and at a lesser angle. Just need to get the angle of the drag link to match it. I have wicked bump steer and will be finishing the bushings and ball joint replacement soon and would like to get this straitened out at the same time so I can get my alignment and finally be able to drive a little farther without worrying about death wobble, bump steer or wearing the front tires all messed up.
