Default Suspension kit part

I seen on a YouTube video that the guy said the drop pitman arm is the same length and size as the factory one and returned it. Is this true? Just wanted to make sure. I'm looking at the zone 5" lift fyi

If they advertise a drop pitman arm, then it really should come with one. I suspect the only way to know for sure, is to wait for the kit to show up, and have a look.

That was a poorly listed thread...sorry to confuse but I was wondering if I needed the new pitman arm with the kit or can I just have the company remove it from the kit? Tho I'll probably just kit the kit, compare parts, and return if needed.

With the 5" kit, you will definitely need a drop pitman arm. You should at least look at the one that comes with the kit.

The pitman arm that comes with the kit will have the same drop but the machined taper is reversed where the drag link mounts. This allows you to flip the drag link end over to lessen the angle and compensate for the lift. You will need it
