[broncoP]

Installing a 2.5" lift. I've always run 3.5" with drop Pitman arm keeping angles parallel
With 2.5", do I need drop Pitman arm, tracbar drop bracket? Will be daily driver

Don't think you NEED it however it helps IMO. I have both on my rig. It drives nice.......Hard street driven......

you should not need those with a 2.5in lift. they're usually required 3.5in lift and up.

That’s tradition talking. Nowadays as drivers we are more picky about how our Broncos drive and handle on the street.
Personally I prefer using them on 2 1/2 inch lifts, but as said, it’s not “needed“ specifically.
Depends on your setup and your tolerance for imperfect steering.

mine from rancho used a dropped down track bar bracket only.

 

[DirtDonk]

Unfortunately that’s all they had. They were on the right track for their 3 inch lift, but never followed through.
They did make/source the perfect Pitman arm for that, but they only listed it for the F150 and did not have one with a smaller taper for the bronco.
Too bad too, because they showed they could make a well-built track bar drop bracket.
They also only lifted the rear 2 inches to match their 3 inch lift coils. Kind of reverting to the pick up truck logic.

i didn't need one.

Do you have plans for a tie rod over upgrade some day? If so, a track bar riser bracket would be needed with the stock pitman arm. Otherwise your stock set up should work fine.

I have a 2.5, I installed a track bar drop and in the end I didn't use it. I also purchased a pitman drop, I didn't need it.
