Is this pitman dropped?

[bucketspeed]

Supernoob here, getting my parts list wrapped up for the weekend's fun. Can you guys tell if this is a drop pitman? There is no track bar drop bracket and the TJ has a 4" coil lift. I plan on replacing with a stock pitman if this is dropped.

Cheers

Has to go , forum Rules ,unless the track bar mount is dropped.... plus you really need to inspect all the tie rod ends ..torn boots indicate age and lack of grease , that one at your drag link has more grease outside than inside . Search "Dry Steering Test ".

Be sure to post the removed pitman arm and a pic of the correct pitman arm, receipt for the part and torque specs you used within 30 days on the "Trial Member wanting to go Permanent " thread. We will get back to you .

My front trackbar doesn’t have a drop bracket, but the passenger end has a second hole drilled to move that end. Looking to switch out to an adjustable on soon.

That's a common move to center the axle ....a good move often is better bushings ..the bar just makes the connection , the bushings do the work...a Moog K-7252 fits with a 14 mm bolt , it's for a 3/4 Ton Dodge truck. At the minimum sleeve it and upgrade the axle end bolt to 12mm and a Moog JK bushing .
The stock 10mm bolt is marginal.

Don't buy house brand track bar bushings.
