I want to drop the front and rear suspension and put some bling bling wheels and tires on it. What's a good kit?


:rotfl2:


YEAH RIGHT. Anyways, what's the best drop pitman/drop trackbar combo to run?

i just bought a ZJ steering box and pitman arm 1" drop plus box is quicker ratio.

I had a 1.25 " drop arm from rusty's

the nut came loose and the arm wollowed out and worn the sector shaft down so new box was in order. I havent gotten it on yet but i will soon lol.

Not running a drop pitman, but I love my HD 1660 Rubicon track bar and drop bracket. I also have the track bar brace. Awesome piece

So you have a drop trackbar bracket but not drop pitman arm? No bumpsteer?

No bumpsteer at all, steers better now then when I had a 1600 style track bar.

The track bar and tie rod are parallel, no bumpsteer.

No bumpsteer is good. That's one less thing for me to buy (pitman arm). Mind if I ask where ya got it and how much it was (drop bracket and trackbar)?

I run the same trackbar setup as Jeff and I really like it as well. It's really beefy and does a great job of keep the axle where it should be.
