Pretty sure I know the answer but wanted to confirm. I have a 4" lift on my JK, it has a drop pitman arm and raised trac bar mount on axle side. If I get a Senergy Draglink flip kit do I need to put stock pitman arm back on and still leave raised trac bar bracket? Drag link will mount on bottom of pitman arm and on top of knuckle? I read about having to extend bumpstops or flipped Draglink could hit frame during flex, how much travel would I loose by flipping Draglink? Any drawbacks to flipping Draglink?

drop pitman + the supplied tb bracket
or
stock pitman + drag link flipped to top of knuckle + trackbar bracket.
Having the drag link relocated at both ends (flipped to top of knuckle + lowering with drop pitman) will put the bars out of alignment.

I tried the drop pitman arm. Twice actually. They didn't stay tight on the shaft out of the steering box. The splines would fall out. I did a rubicon express flip drag link. It's great now.

I would get rid of the drop pitman arm and keep the axle mounted braket. It will do two things for you. 1. Should be enough to account for the flip. 2. Will move up your roll center which is a good thing.
