Dropped Pitman Arm????

After installing my 4 inch lift on my YJ, do I need to change the pitman arm? I plan on getting an alignment and figured I would have the guy change it while he was doing the alignment if I really need it.

Depends. If you still have the front trackbar installed, you want the trackbar and the draglink to be parallel. If they're not parallel, use the drop pitman arm if it'll make them parallel.

If you no longer have a front trackbar (many YJ owners get rid of them) then it's personal preference to decrease the angle of the draglink.
