Wondering if you could share the lift height and lift kit parts/suspension modifications installed ? The XJ doesn't need a drop pitman arm until you have 6 - 8 inches of lift.

Are you having steering issues?

you certainly have no need of a drop pitman arm.
you are probably over-extending your steering though and should be looking at aftermarket steering setups.

Ok, so according to my best measurements the front height is 5.5" over stock.
Springs are 4.5" Rubicon Express, Bilstein 5100s for 6.5" lift, RE quick disconnects, RE sway bar relocation, rusty's offroad track bar and mount, stock drag link with ZJ tie rod end. I forget the control arms but I have the castor set up so there is no angle on the driveshaft. There is definately less castor.

Well I do have bump steer and wandering going on. it is pretty annoying. It's driveable if you're careful.

wandering is an effect of worn out parts and not geometry
where in CA are you?

What are your lift specs?
Do you have the $$ to go aftermarket with the steering? At this point it might be necessary between the worn out parts and bad angles. Personally I wouldnt put $$ into the stock steering but instead use it as an opportunity to upgrade if you have the means.

i would look for worn out parts before throwing money at it.
castor and toe would also be good things to investigate.

You need a dropped pit, call rusty's.
And no I don't work for them but their 6.5 spring pack lift is excellent, it comes w/ a drop pit

Drop Pitman Arms are garbage.
you'd be much better off with WJ steering at that height.
