[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 426553, member: 18789"] Virtually all the drop pitmans are the same length which I haven't measured but I believe is about 1.5-2" of drop. I have never understood why they label them the way they do, but I can promise you on a 3.5" lift, the drop pitman arm didn't get my steering even close to being back to stock. So I'd say it should be safe. I bought the Rubicon Express pitman arm. RE2500. Got it from Amazon. Lots of pitman arms aren't made of good enough material and then you torque the nut down, over time the splined hole stretches and moves upward on the steering gear box shaft. Then you end up with a loose nut which is very unsafe. Omix Ada and Crown Pitman arms are very big offenders of this issue. This is why i chose the more expensive RE option. Order it from Amazon and try it out. Worst case, for some reason it doesn't work and interferes with the steering and you can ship it back. Best case, it makes your steering about as good as it can be on a small lifted Jeep. Post up the results whatever you do. [/QUOTE]
