Sounds like you need to find another shop. You DO NOT want to install a dropped pitman arm on a JK UNLESS you relocate your track bar at the same time. You CANNOT do one without the other without severe handling issues.

what issues are you dealing with that they recommend a drop pitman?

Having been convinced to use a drop bracket on 2 of my past Jeeps (before I started really educating myself on steering geometry) I would say the same as others, find another shop.

In my experience a drop bracket is just a band-aid and what ever issue you're dealing with will surface again or cause other issues.

Any reason you are running dual stabilizers?

Lol, it is a garage door sensor wire, just went cause I bought a used 2wd, with 100k miles with accesories , i havent done nothing cosmetic yet, I felt that the suspension wasn't really 100 percent, feel a clunk on the steering wheel, steering wheel shakes at 30 mph, and I took the dual stabilizer off to clean them and drove live 10 miles and felt I small death wobble at like 25 mph, so I put the stabilizer back on and drove to that shop.

I suspected as much, did that shop do the install?

All you should need is the stock single stabilizer.

This should help you figure it out:

lol, thanks, I am following that thread, the vehicle came with the dual stabilizer, after I replace all the worn out part I should be good to remove them, but Imma do it part by part, that way I could feel the difference each part makes, plus budget wise, these jeeps are not cheap. I already order the synergy ball joints and the shop is gonna replace them, as i can do that my self, they lifted the vehicle up and the ball joints had a very small space in between, so order it, next synergy tie rod, black magic brakes, shocks prob bilstein 5100 or the rancho 9000, I like the rancho warranty. And finally the drag link I think, the bushings looks shot,, here's a pic oh and its a 4" lift.
