Drop pitman arm?
I don't have a drop pa with the lift I have now but my new lift comes with a drop track bar bracket. So my question is will I need to get a drop pa because of that? Also how much of a drop would I need? Its for a 5.5in lift... Thank you

Do drop trac bar. Get a double sheer trac bar like IrO. Your jeep will thank you. And yes there's a chance you'll need the pa drop but install your other steering items first

At that height though you may want to look I to OTK steering. Not sure how helpful the drop bracket actually is. IMHO I feel like its a bandaid

My RockKrawler drop bracket is longer than stock but the pivot point is the same as stock. A drop pitman arm (ZJ) caused bumpsteer when I tried it.
4.5" lift
