    Default Do I need a drop pitman arm?

    My 94 xj has a 3 inch rough country lift I have had it under my jeep for about a year and a half and with my front winch and bumper it sags in front now I just picked up some 2 inch coil spring poly spacers, and I am wondering if I will need a drop pitman arm after I install them? I think it should lift mine back up to least 4.5 and didn't see any kits that recommended that it needs it. Thanks!

    its gonna look like you're always running uphill with those spacers!! I put a drop arm on my gearbox when i replaced it... mainly because I want to get to 6" eventually... but the stock arm worked with my 4.5" lift too
