Default Shallow pitman arm?

Hey guys, we have a 1998 xj with a 6.5" long arm kit with 33" mud grapplers. We have the one ton steering, rustys adjustable trac bar and bracket. Is there a pitman arm that is shallower or shorter that would match up with our set up a little better?

you should be running a drop pitman arm unless you have OTK steering then the stock pitman arm will be fine

Do you have the over the axle track bar bracket? If not, that is what you should get.
