drop brackets are a PAIN to install...it took us like 8 hours install ours with all the other crap we had to do in order to get things "aligned"
THe ones we installed on mine are the RE ones since my lift is all custom...

BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!

mine went on pretty easily in the driveway. i didn't even lift hte jeep, just unhooked everything and bolted it all in place. hardest part was drilling hte holes because i had to go from a small bit and work my way up to one that was the right size.


definitely a huge increase in ride comfort though

are you using stock arms with the drop brackets,the drop bracekts are meant to be used with stock arms and spring lift ,if you using longer ca and the drop brackets its turnng the axle down causing the steering to come back and contact the shock possibly
