Depends how far of a drop some times too much is bad,But the whole steering linkage needs to be upgraded if your gonna go off road with it.

Just put on a 1" drop on 4.5" lift and tie bar type steering. Much improved steering and less bump steering. I like it.

That's a beefy system, but still using that inverted y set up IIRC. IF you are going to get one, don't go more than an inch, I think the v8 ZJ arm is about that.
