does the 4" x-flex arm kit come with the drop pitman arm?

 

[Joey] Hello, how may I help you?
[Visitor] Was looking at the JK lifts and wondering why the 4"-Flex doesn't come with a drop pittman arm?
[Joey] that is because of the adjustable trackbar
[Joey] with it you do not need the pittman arm
[Visitor] Gotcha..Thanks for the info

This came from the Live Help chat on their webiste...

 

i would not recommend using a drop down pitman arm bar.

 

thx 4 ur response; but i have to ask why? i thought a drop pitman arm was needed on a 4" + lift?

 

I am looking into Rough Country too.. I dont get into rock crawling i just like to go mudding a little and hit some trails, just looking for some ground clearance. I dont know too much about lift kits, and whats needed to do them properly. i am looking at the ''07-10 Jeep JK (Manual Trans) 2.5" / 1.25" Combo Kit (2 Door)" with "Jeep JK Dual Steering Stabilzier" and the wheel spacers.... will this work for me?

 

Drop pitman arms put excessive stress on the steering shaft and cause it to bend or wear out prematurely. There are many reports of that with all brands of dropped pitman arms.

 

If it doesn't, you can return it within 60 days for a full refund.

No other brand offers that type of satisfaction guarantee.

 

Actually , I believe all the drop pitmans for the jk are made by the same manufacturer and reboxed and sold with whomever's kit.
But you are correct about the added stress. Thats why I have a brand new FT drop tb bracket and pitman in a box in my garage. I changed my mind after I got it and decided to get the Tera dragflip kit.

 

I have the new 3.5 on my 2011 Rubicon and it is great! I rides as good if not better than stock. I have absolutlely no complaints.

 

I have the 3.25" now and love it.
