Steering/Pitman Trouble
I'm thinking that I'm in need of a drop pitman? Hopefully that would cure this issue?
Thanks guy

I'm not really fimiliar with the set-up, but it looks to me that
if the trackbar was flipped (upside down) it should clear the pitman.
Also looks as if you lowered the pitman, the trackbar would still
interfear, but futher down. Again

Its a 4.5" lift SA
My issue is the connection is strained from the linkage to the pitman; it makes my steering loose.
Ideally i would like the connection to be flush and steering to tighten up.
The TB is the RockKrawler Bomb proof if that helps

turning from left to right and vic versa there is a feeling that the wheels are not turning as the steering wheel does.
I'm just confused why my linkage isn't all flush but seems stressed on that bolt.

Sounds like an Issue inside your steering box.
A drop pitman arm would totally ruin your steering geometry. Replace that tre and see if they helps. Also have someone turn the wheel while you watch the pitman arm...if it doesn't turn with the wheel then you have slop in the steering box.
