Stock or Drop Pitman Arm
I have recently bought a 4" Rough Country Lift for my 4dr Wrangler. I also bought Adjustable trackbars for front and rear and removed the trackbar drop brackets, do i need to put my stock pitman arm back on or leave the drop one installed? What i have is a whole lot of steering wander and minimal bump steer. Is there any other suggestions to cure my wandering problem?
Thanks
Thanks

Give a few. Someone will chime in that knows what's up. I am not familiar with that kit or that amount of lift. I do know you will need some front LCA's and rear upper arms to get everything straight like stock. At least from what I have read on here.

Check your toe, that can cause wandering. Also, if you removed the drop brackets in the front and kept the drop pitman, it put your drag and trackbar outta parralell. Either put the bracket back on w your adj trackbar or take the drop pitman off to get your trackbar and drag at the same angle.

Would like to add also as stated before, ditch the cambolts and get the front adj lowers. Cambolts will not give you the castor needed for better drivability on a 4in lift IMO, they only give you so much, then that's it

If you removed the track bar drop bracket you probably need to go back to the stock pitman arm. Did you try driving it with the track bar drop bracket and the longer pitman arm? My guess would be that it would drive better that way. But that would be just a guess. Have you measured the angles? Have any pics?
