ZJ pitman arm

So I pulled the gearbox from a ZJ since the one in my XJ is leaking pretty bad. It was easier to pull it with the ZJ arm still attached.

I've only got 3" of lift on my XJ, is it ok to use the ZJ pitman arm with this amount of lift? Or should I take it off and reuse the one on my XJ?

I know the drop is a little bit different, just not 100% sure if I should leave the ZJ one on or use the XJ one =/
 
If you were to draw a line between the connecting points at each end of the track bar, then draw a second line between the ends of the drag link, these lines must be parallel. If they are not you will have bump steer and other problems. Unless you are running some type of aftermarket steering, I am sure the extra two inches of drop from the ZJ pitman arm would knock this relationship out.
