I put 2 sets of 1.5 inch coil spacers in on front coil springs to give it a 3 inch lift. Now I have bump steer that pulls side to side on highway. Do I need a drop Putnam arm and if so how much of one? It is a 93 ranger 4x4 has had alignment after spacers were put in.

a 3" drop pitman arm will help, but not totally correct the bump steer problem. noting will totally eliminate the bump steer, but a pitman arm with a drop equal to the amount of lift will get the closest.
stacking spacers is never a good idea!

you probably need some drop brackets for the beams too, especially for 4 inches of lift
