mine had bump steer,"Rustys' offroad" 60.00 dollar 2'' drop pitman arm cleared it up.
you'll need to either drop the brake line brackets,or get longer lines.i believe chevy truck brake lines are are long enough to work,they're a couple inches longer than stock FSJ lines.

You could also look at WT stock lines if you have a NT, they are longer also. (Don't know if they are long enough though)

I put a 4" lift on my J10 and didn't need to change brake lines or pitman arm.

When it comes to a lift there is a viable and mathmatical reason for a drop pitman arm. And bumpsteer is a good name for it. :cool:

yep-you don't have to put a drop arm on.
but if you do,i guarantee you'll want to leave it on.
