Looks very sturdy and very excited to use it although the drop is so great that the sway bar is not mounting back up because the pitman arm gets in the way, also i already have the RE sway bar drop mounts and it still hits, does anyone have an idea to get around this or has anyone every ran into this situation before? Responses would be greatly appreciated. 97 Jeep cherokee 7.5 inches of lift

I also avoided the drop bracket stuff. Adjustable discos will move the sway bar back up and out of the way using the factory mounts. Have you installed an aftermarket steering system? At 7.5 I would think OTK would get your angles back or even a good UTK from Rustys, IRO or somebody else.
X2 on pics, post a pic of your steering. Straight on shot from the front, centered so you can see the angles.

just picked up a jeep with a 6 inch left , I saw the angle on v standard pitman arm and ask my mechanic if I needed to get a drop pitman arm? his reply was that with new heim joint on the bar there is no need for a drop arm. is this is true statement?
Needed?

Reason: Add pic
The angles look good. Couldn't see the pitman arm, but it all seems to be scienced out. What problems are you having? There is some major money into this already.

That heim joint setup looks kinda weak and is almost maxed out at ride height.
Welcome chili dipper. The OP hasn't responded so you shouldn't jack the thread with new questions while folks are still working the original problem. Just read along and see what happens or search for similar posts. Having said that, I agree with the other posters, your steering angles look good and that design does put a lot of stress on the passenger side bolt. But hey, my advice is break it before you fix it. All that stuff looks brand new and probably hasn't seen a trail. Get off road and see if you can break it, then you'll know.
Also, FYI, if those are G2 axles, they cost more than a new Cherokee(each). Hate to ask what you paid.
