Why is it that almost every rig I see on here guys are running the drop pitman arms? I have always asked for a flat arm when I order high steer kits because I don't want the spring to whack it on up travel. I realize for a taller rig a drop arm helps with steering geometry, but on lower rigs what's the deal with it?

I run a flat arm on my high steer on 85 runner, wouldn't be possible with an ifs frame but yea like Andrew said the castle nut will hit the frame most of the time , I ran into this problem but I just let the nut self clearance the frame lol I was gonna notch it but meh it works, mine sits barely at 24" frame to ground with flat ruf and with a drop arm I had 0 up travel , but on my other Toyota with ifs frame that sits at like 26.5 frame to ground the drop arm is perfect fit , really depends on people's setup and frame and steering box location
