Jackass. My kind of jackass though. LOL. Know you don't need it, and buy it anyways. Love it.

One issue you may cause yourself is the drop mount is going to change the angle your TB is at in relation to your steering. If they are not parallel, or close to parallel, you will have bump steer. Easy fix with a drop pitman arm. Bolt up your TB and check it out, you may not need the drop pitman arm.

In this day and age ya gotta have a sense of humor.

I would like to add an image that I created to show the technical geometry of what happens when you lift your Jeep 2". This took me literately hours to conclude the importance of a drop mount and adjustable TB when liftage is incorporated.........

Now I rest my case !

The steering link between the pitman arm and the passenger knuckle does the same thing when you lift the jeep. When you drop one, you will likely need to drop the other.
