So you have a drop pitman, not the stock, correct? Is there a trackbar bracket as well? (The draglink and trackbar need to remain roughly parallel, so there should be a bracket.)

With a draglink flip, you need to remove the drop pitman and go back to stock, and if there is a trackbar bracket currently, it needs to come off also (assuming a new bracket is coming with the steersmart kit?).

I actually like the way it looks. I don't mind spending the money to make the Jeep ride the way it should and have the lift in place.

It does have a dropped pitman arm and I will be using Smart Steers bracket for relocating the trackbar
I will have to order a factory pitman arm. Thanks for the heads up there.

people are trying to help but you obviously don't want help. a simple photo of your set up will allow people to tell you what the heck you have. Most kits that use pitman drop arms are not good lifts. hell you might have a spacer lift etc. If you don't have the correct set up a Yeti steersmart high steer won't really do much for you.. good luck... I am out of here.

Not sure what's elevated your blood pressure! I've been responding, thankfully, to all who have chimed in. I haven't had the opportunity to take pictures of the jeep where you had asked and post them. Thanks for the well wishes....
