Re plumbing drain line for sink
I replaced a on the counter bowl type sink with an under mounted sink. So the drain is too high to accommodate the new setup.
See attached pictures... It looks like I need to lower the whole drain about 2.5"-3" to make it work (is that right?). I would imagine cutting the left side where the drain comes out of the wall and just creating a whole new drain. I can visualize it in my head but I don't know the fittings to use.
Please see pictures and help me get started on this... thank you!!

Thanks for the reply and taking the time to edit my photo. Makes sense now. So the trap arm will come right out of the pipe that goes in to the wall? In that picture at the very bottom of your post is that a "trap arm extension"... trying to figure out what that is called. Also how is the slope of the trap arm created?
It's been a while since I've done PVC work, if you can't tell!!!
Thanks again.

Is this the right part to extend the arm of the p-trap?

Well I got the one done. Of course I forgot to snap pictures but I will when I get a chance. But it worked out pretty good, put a new elbow out of the wall. I bought a 60 degree and a 45 degree. Of course I needed a 22.5 degree so back to the store I went. Now for the other side (this is two sink bathroom).
This other side might be a little tougher. There is no room at the wall to cut the elbow coming out. Also, where you see the black drain tube in the pictures, it's not all the way down. It's hitting the trap. Height wise, this setup looks good. Might not even need an extension going out of the top because there is still a good inch or two it needs to come down. But how can I rotate the whole trap assembly to get it out of the way of the drain?
Where the pipe comes out horizontally, put an elbow in there then run some 1.5" then put another elbow in to "swing it back" toward the drain pipe? I'm talking about doing a 90 degree elbow then a 180 degree which I am guessing would be two 90's. It would be pretty convoluted.
See pics... care to take a stab at this one?! Some of the pictures I took before putting the counter top back on.
Thanks again.

I agree with Mike NJ.
If you cut off the existing trap adapter you can glue on a 45 street elbow and then glue on the same type of female trap adapter you have now to the street end of the elbow.
It looks like if you point the street elbow to the right you will be able to align the pipes by a combination of shortening the trap wall arm and swiveling the trap into position.
You are in luck because you have enough pipe coming out of the tee to attach another fitting.
