Default Trackbar Bracket and Drop Pitman Arm

I have a 4" lift and I have read its a good idea to get a drop pitman arm and trackbar bracket to bring the trackbar and drag link more level to the axle. I was looking at the skyjacker drop pitman and using it with the teraflex trackbar bracket, however they say it needs to be used in conjuntion with the draglink flip. Would it be alright to use these two products together, or should I go ahead and get the TF draglink flip instead of the drop pitman arm?

you can use either and you will be fine. both a dropped pitman arm and a draglink flip kit will do the same thing which is to put the drag link parallel to the track bar. obviously, a replacement dropped pitman arm does this by lowering the drag link and a flip kit does this by retaining the factory pitman arm and placing the draglink on top of the steering knuckle. just so you know, in order to install a flip kit, you will need to ream out the factory steering knuckle tappered mounting hole.
