Cibola national forest is the bigger umbrella that incorporates the Sandia, Mountainair, Magdalena, and Mt. Taylor ranger disctricts, sooo pretty much every mountain surrounding Albuquerque. The lifted the fire restrictions yesterday (except mountainair).

Ok. So while I'm waiting for parts to come in., I'm going with legitimate lift components. And I've already got my coils. Just waitin on the shocks and trac bar. Now I'm tryin to decide on going with adjustable control arms or control arm drop brackets. Any thoughts? I'm going with 4.5".

ok. I've been leaning towards that. Have you noticed any cons using the brackets? I have replaced the bushings on both control arms.

Aside from putting them together no. Just make sure you get some with support brackets.

Adjustables you are able to adjust pinion angle and caster. On my first build I used them and was able to adjust them when I added more height with spacers. Not to mention stock controls arms are weak and break without hard four wheeling. Some of you might remember my first build.

And +1 on the adj control arms also thing about if you wanna go higher in the future long arm might be a better choice.
