To Drop the Pitman or OEM?

[TheRenegade]

Awright...
"Bessy" is back from the body shop with a straightened frame, and level front bumper....
:eek:
Borgeson steering shaft is next, but....
Do I go with the drop pitman arm, or stick with stock?
2.5" Superlift, 1" body lift, and 3/4" with the shackles....
Is it OVERALL lift, or JUST suspension amount that determines "to drop or not"?

KTHNXBYE
PS Replacing tie rod ends also.

just suspension, but the body lift will mess with the steering shaft from the wheel to the box

You should be ok with only 1'' body lift. Stay with the stock pitman arm, and do a tie rod flip! Check out my thread in the tech write up section for before and aftr pics. You can see how low a drop arm sits, right down into 'rock territory'!
