Well IMO i do not like drop pitman arms.. The leverage they put on the gear because they drop so much, is not a good thing to me. I have the TF drag link flip kit and prefer it WAY more.
I also have the TF HD Front TB w/ the JKS Track bar brace which also raises the TB axle mount hole a few inches higher. I have NO problem w/ bump steer or anything associated w/ that. I ran the Brace before the flip kit and did have a bump steer issue. The Drag link flip kit fixed that.
I know if you buy the TF drag link flip/TB drop kit it kills both issues in one kit

This is Ctimrun's Rig w/ the TF kit installed

I know JackMac4 and Toad run TF 4" w/ this kit. I know for me the drop down was not necessary due to my TB brace on the axle side. But 3.5" of lift should be ok. I would take some pics of your front end so you can see the draglink and TB and send them to Joe at TF. He can have his guys look at it and recommend what to do

So, even though there's been an explosion of questions, here's one more...
I will soon be installing my 4" Superlift with the Adj track bar and running 35s with Rustys front lower arms and upper rears.
I drive it alot as a daily driver and really dont want issues with wobble or shakes...So, will I need the drop pitman arm and a trac bar bracket? Or will it be fine as is for a while?
