On a 4" lift, what we tell customers is if you have a widetrack you can get away w/o one. If you have a narrowtrack you should get one.www.bjsoffroad.com - BJ's Off-Road - Your Full-Size Jeeps Parts Specialist

I put the DPA on mine (an 88 model) and had bumpsteer. I put the trackbar back on (with the bracket) and it mostly went away.Ethan Brady

I drove my 88 waggy with SOA and 4" springs (so like 10-12" of lift) around for a year with the stock DPA.
It drove ok, but did have bump steer.
Installed a DPA a couple of months ago and that really helped, but since it has soooo much lift, it still has a little bump steer. A think a steering ram would negate the need for DPA.Please come on over to http://fsjnetwork.com/forum and have a look.Comment

...keeping in mind the steering geometry is different for SOA vs. SUA.Flint

It would hurt this one:
It is all about the angle of the dangle.

I've also seen the connecting rod modified to offset but have never been conforable with that.
My though has always get the rods in alirgnment as much as possible when the suspension is in nuetral position. I don't believe you can completely wipe out bumpsteer since it moves. Just my 1 cent

Not stock at least, but I wouldn't take a chance anyway. Fullsize GM is the closest crossover to the FSJ 74+ and I've only seen straight pitmans stock. Its pretty cheap to buy a new DPA anyway, all things considered.Originally posted by 1979cherokeeJason Davis

The dpa in my Hell Creek kit came in a box that said f150/ bronco on it. I think it was a superlift box it was in or maybe rough country, I cant remember.Comment
