I went ahead and built my control arm drop brackets but i need a measurement on how far it actually drops the control arm down. Would really appreciate if you could get me a measurement.

POSJEEPXJ...... I measured the drop brackets and they mount the control arm 4 inches lower then stock and the bracket itself hangs down 3.5 lower than the bottom of the stock mount. did you make mounts for the uppers? mine had upper relocation bracket built into it. they also go back along the frame to the t case mount and goes under the mount. i think that might be a whole nother piece. im sorry i havent gotten mine off. your still welcome to use them if you want.... im just running my butt off lately getting my quads ready for the season and works busy. if you can come up some night, i bet we could get them off pretty quick. idk, thought id throw that out there. if not, ill get them off someday soon enough......

well, if its not prepped right when you poof can it, it will make it way tougher when it comes time to do it right. plus, some rattle can paint can cause new paint over it to react and that can be a nightmare. not always but sometimes. i think you should do it right the first time and be done with it. thats my opinion anyhoo.
