Pull one off a grand cherokee ZJ, I have one on my Jeep with 5.5 inchs of lift and it is perfect with my lowered trackbar.

hmm. I chose to run a stock one with my 6.75" lift and it works most excellently.

When i turn my wheel the tie rod belljoint the goes to that stearing bar it hitting the bottom of my sway bar link, whats up with that i figure with a dropped pitman arm it will clear.
Ah.........now, we're getting somewhere.
If you put a dropped pitman arm on, your tierod and trackbar will now be at different angles. Your handling will suffer, in particular, you can expect to experience some bumpsteer as a result.
You're referring to the stamped and laminated sway bar link mount, correct? Consider relocating those a couple of inches higher, rather than a dropped arm. Yes, it's more work.

WELL i did the RE 5.5" kit and i installed a drop bracket for the trackbar and a new trackbar, so now what should i do. im running no swaybar link now but i have to put it back. I also had the one side (passenger side) raised up with a bracket but that was a headache and it pell off. and pics of those relocated.
