I have there drop kit. I think it works very well. It make the controll arm like 4" lower for its pivot point. Just the logic in it makes sense enough to me to buy them. My jeep rides well and Flexes ok. I have a 6.5" lift so with the drop brackets it like the angle of the arms equals about a 2.5" lift so less of a steep angle on the arms. If you go witha 4.5 with and them you will be almost like riding at a stock angle. Thats my little opinion.

I am at 4.5 and I got them. The reason I got them is it appeared that the control arms would bind on the axle mount at full droop. That caused me to wait 2 more weekends to get out of the garage. Buy them right away and you won't have to wait.

Thanks you very much and Yes 33" and stock gears. My jeep had 179,000 and still pulls hard. On the street it still has plenty of get up and in the mud it will keep the wheels spinning. I plan on doing some 4.10's just for the extra.
