I just installed my 6.5 long arm kit. I put on a drop pitman arm, but my draglink is still hitting my sway bar link when I turn right. Would a long drop pitman arm help?

no a longer drop are would just make your steering spongy and and give you horrible bump steer, but the Grand Cherokee tie rod would fix that. just get the link (the one that goes from the driver side to the y-link connect point) cause it sticks out a little more and it is stronger too. or you could go crossover steering, cause that Y-link setup is not gonna last very long it you take it wheelin

And it will stick out far enough to clear the sway link?

I was just down there looking at the drag link and tie rod connection. Would it be ok if I just move the tie rod to the front of the drag link?
