Best CAD (Control Arm Drop) brackets?
I'm not trying to start a "to use them or not" thread, but if you were going to use them, which one is better to install and more trouble free? Rocky Road (Damn I want some ice cream now...) or Rough Country?
I see the RC one has a slot for the lower control arm, but didn't notice a slot on the RR one (could be the beer, lol). Thanks you gentlmen.

Good consensus. Do you definately need the alignment after? Could you put it off if it drives better right after, or still get it done???

x2 on rubicon express.
they're the only ones that go far enough on the frame rail to the cross member bolts.
and the upper mount is better in my opinion also.

i went from RE brackets to longarms.
to be honest, the ride is about the same, but the flex is a bit better, and bonus bragging rights.
