Default When do I need a Drop Pitman Arm?

Just picked up a Rusty's 3.25" front and 2" rear from Axsys. I'm sure I'll get about 3" from the lift. Whether I do get 3" or more, when or should I invest in a drop pitman arm?

Thanks.

I'v been over 4" for about 6 months, and it was ok. Much better now that I put in the Teraflex draglink flip, way less bump steer. It does the same thing as doing a drop pitman arm and is worth the extra money I think. I don't like getting the long pitman arm, I'v seen a stock one brake on just a slight hit from a rock to tire. Easy install too.

Thanks.
you should get one ONLY IF you get a track bar relocation bracket at the same time. and, with just 3" of lift, you do not need either.
