I recently bought a control arm drop kit from Top Gun Customz. its a couple of 1/4 inch steel inserts designed to actually fit into the stock frame mounts without any welding. I'm just wondering, is it worth the money?

You already paid for it... Why don't you install it and figure out if it was worth it?

Yea if you have a 4 lift or higher. It smooths out the ride a lot. It also allows more drop off road than just the short arms already installed bc the angles are better.

I have the RE drop brackets on a 4" lift. I definitely notice a smoother ride on the road. The drop brackets are really meant for 5-6" of lift though. I think it was over-kill for me at 4" but in the end it is better for me.

Anything lower then 4" lift is rlly pushing it. It smooths out the ride but ur more likely to get hung up on a rock or tear them off
