Default drop pitman?
Is a drop pitman arm the way to eliminate most of my bump steer, or do i need some sort of custom steering link??

if you are lifted 4" or more, a dropped pitman arm in conjunction to a track bar drop bracket will help eliminate bumpsteer.

sorry but i'm not sure i understand the question. so far as i know, there is only one dropped pitman arm available for the JK and pretty much every lift kit manufacturer is using the same one.

I have a 4 in LA Terraflex kit, so it should have the drop pitman.
But im still dealing with a lot of bump steer.

so far as i know, the TF 4" long arm kit does not come with a dropped pitman arm or front track bar drop bracket. without it, you will have a lot of bump steer.

Default Another possibility
Not sure if any vendors here have one, but AEV has a kit that flips the draglink. This may be another solution for you. One that may put a little less stress on your steering box.
