is anyone running drop brackets that they could post a few pictures of.. along with how much lift? I am doing most of my stuff homemade style with 2 spacers and 4.5 spring, with a trac bar and everything else that goes with it, and im thinking of running drop brackets for the lcas but i plan on making them myself.. thanks

I'm running them but honestly I wouldn't recommend them. Just bite the bullet and go with a mid or long arm. It'll ride much better. Heres some pics anyway and mine is 6" with 38s.

its a trail only rig, no dd. so it doesnt have to ride like a caddy, but building a drop bracket seems easier than building mine own 3 link... so i was just looking for some close upsof the bracket themselves

A 3 link is a huge difference from a drop bracket setup...of course it would be easier...

yea im doing research on making my own 3 link but i cant find much to figure it out...

Drop brackets are actually fairly complex.

I have the Rocky road ones. They are made from somewhere between 15 and 20 pieces of 1/4" plate and you probably need left and right jigs to assemble them.

And you will still want to replace the OEM control arms.

A 3 link might be easier to get right in quantity 1.

I have my RE drop brackets sitting at home, if you want you can check them out before I install them. Will be back in town from work the 14'th.
