no.... i cant get that god damn pitman arm off.. I rented the $90 pitman arm puller from autozone, used a blow torch to heat up the arm and ended up breaking the damn pitman puller 
i had no idea this was going to be such a PITA! My buddy who works at toyotas going to see if he can drive the jeep in there today to pull the pitman arm off as im completly out of ideas and really frustrated.
Thought it would be good learning experience for me, but holy sht i was not prepared for this lol
But at least i got almost 4" of lift in the front so far!

The RC pitman arm is known as a "drop pitman arm" right? i was doing a search on removing and saw a whole bunch of threads with that title but didnt read any of them

Ask how many people have them. Most kits dont include them. Instead most people but the flip kit which puts your drag link above your knuckle. You will be fine with that kit without the drop pitman arm. Drive it around and get the feel for it. If you decide you want it bring it over to my house and I will have it installed within minutes. The only people that I know who have them are with 6" of coil lift. Your going to need to correct your steering wheel before you drive it or your ESP and electronics will go crazy thinking your going into a spin.
Also im gunna replace the tie rod end on the drag link.. Do i just screw it in as far where the current ones screwed down too?

If anyone is looking for an aftermarket front drive shaft I have one for sale, i will post it in the F.S. section later. The atlas requires a different length shaft.

So i finally finished the lift kit and got the steering wheel centered!! 
But now if i take a really sharp turn or do a u-turn, the front end makes this vibration noise and feeling and it feels like the tires are being dragged, kinda like if your in 4wd... anyone have any idea whats causing this?
