I cannot even find one for the JL and they use the same pitman arm as the JT.

Rough Country includes one in their 6” lift. Do you plan to use it with a front track bar bracket?

My lift is only 2.5". I used a Rubicon Express adjustable track bar and that got rid of most of the bump steer but I need to get the steering linkage down a couple of inches to all but eliminate it.

Hmm... Most kits up to 3.5” don’t necessitate track bar configuration modifications.

I used a Daystar lift and noticed during install the OEM track bar had a preload of about 1" and had to use a come-a-long to get it back together. The bump steer and wobble was bad until I installed the adjustable unit and centered the axle.

Dropped pitman arm was a TJ and earlier thing. You need a high steer kit with adjustable track bar. SteerSmarts, Synergy, AEV and EVO made some of the best of these kits for JK and are close to release for JL/JT. Just double checked and SteerSmarts has their parts out now. Their stuff is top self. You should call them.

From what I've read, you can't do a high steer setup on a JT/JL unless you lift 4" or more, due to track bar/frame contact during suspension compression. Most people with 3.5" lift or under stay with an adjustable track bar and factory geometry. There's more than one way to skin a cat though...

You are right, under 3" of lift, you don't do high steer. It's over 3" when it starts making sense including because the requirement for 3" of bump stop to clear the raised trackbar/trackbar bracket.
