When i installed my kit i couldnt get the pitman arm off so i had alot of bump steer, Not sure if that would still happen if using the drop pitman arm.
but the main reason to use the adj trackbar is so that theres not additional stress on the sector shaft/steering pump which is caused by using a drop pitman arm

Other than saving a couple of bucks, is there any advantages to running the drop pitman arm/bracket ??

From what i've read, The drop pitman arm/trackbar bracket is used in place of an adj trackbar to lower the price of the kit. i cant really see any advantage using those over an adj trackbar other than bring the cost down
