look at this picture for me

im about to order some RC drop brackets and i was thinking about ordering a drop pitman arm since mine is stock and i have 5 inches of lift but ive been reading and i think i should be ok without it

does everything look ok in this picture besides a bent tierod?

and i just took that picture and put the lines on it

Looks A ok to me.

You don't need one but the ZJ pitman arm is a 1 inch drop <- cheap alternative.

besides a bent tierod?
=====================
How did that tierod get bent?
It looks to me your tierod is near it's limit now for flex down. Flex her out and see when the tierod gets max out.

Yeah you're ok. if you get a drop pitman arm youll get some bump steer.
