stumpman79, you can take a look at your steering linkage, if your draglink is parallel to you track bar, you won't have any issues with bumpsteer. did your kit come with a track bar bracket, or adj. track bar? a bracket will usually require a dropped pitman arm to compensate, where as an adj. track bar won't.
Skyjacker told me do not drive the Jeep without the drop pitman arm. I did drive it alittle and there was alot of binding and alot of roll and yaw. Superlift is the best lift to get the closest to stock steering and alignment. The kit came with track bar relocation brackets but you still need the pitman arm for the binding. 2 or 3 inches of lift it is not needed or on a 4DR.
