I had a dropped pitman arm on my '85 YJ (had a BDS lift on that one) and never had any issues with it but realize my JKU is a totally different beast. I want to take care of my front end geometry and from what I can tell I can either get a dropped pitman or flip the drag link using one of the many kits offered out there. Some of the advantages are pretty obvious like dropped pitman is way cheaper but appears that many on this board prefer to flip the drag link. My question is what are the pros & cons of each? I've been eyeballing the EVO draglink flip kit but figured I would do a little more research before pulling the trigger.

TIA

 

A drag link flip kits raises the geometry from the axle side as opposed to a dropped pitman arm or a dropped track bar from the frame side which these two cause greater stress on the components. EVO, AEV, Clayton, and RockKrawler are all good flip kits. RockKrawler goes the extra mile by incorporating their own solid steel draglink which can utilize stronger Moog greasable ends or stock ends.
