A dropped pitman arm and relocation mount combined cancel each other out , and are prone to noises at the frame end. I know first hand.
They are typically part of a manufactur’s lift line to get rigs up to 6”, so become sort of a “do all” offering.
This has confused the market...shops, mechanics and end users, in thinking they must be an important part of the equation.
What is important is track bar length to maintain proper axle center, stability by the track bar , and the track bar and drag link being close to parallel ...to my knowledge. And bushing quality and torque of the assembly.
It is thought that less track bar angle means less bump steer , but that seems to end up being the opposite on most TJs with a dropped arm and no dropped mount.
This is based on my limited understanding, so please take it that way.
