How much lift do you have? If it's 2.5" sus or less you prob don't need the drop pitman. Hut carries them for $60 I think.

A little more info on the steering kit would be useful. If you're going tie rod over then no, you shouldn't need a drop pitman arm unless you're lifted a bunch (5+ inches).

It really comes down the geometry of your steering. You want your track bar to be as flat as possible and you want your drag link to match that angle. I wouldn't try getting additional parts until you put your steering on.
