So I've been running a 5.5" lift coils in front for quite a while with very little bump steer but was wondering how many people actually use a drop pitman arm that's for that size lift. It seems like every cherokee i run into with a lift has stock pitman arm. I bought one quite a while ago but never installed it because i was able to drive and work like normal with a little bump steer.

I'm currently sitting at 4.5-5" of lift in the front of mine and I'm running a 1" drop pitman arm. I heard mixed feedback so I figured I would give it a shot. The only bump steer I had was actually due to a broken steering box bracket. Since I replaced that with a beefier plate, I've had no issues.

I have a 6.5 LA lift and run the stock pitman arm. I'd only use one if my TB and drag link weren't parallel
