Default Control Arm Drop Brackets.

Why these aren’t included in short arm lifts 4.5 and up is beyond me. Just installed them on my RC 4.5 x series. Unbelievable difference in the way it handles bumps on the road. Can’t wait to take it on the trail this weekend.

It does make the suspension work better. Just bear in mind that the brackets can get hung up on stuff

I'd over to go garage drop brackets in the rock's 4" lift drop brackets 35s and ot would be one he'll of a trail machine

I'd like to see ares or someone offer Dana 30 brackets with a raise to them maybe 2" this would flatten long arms out or short arms without being drag points.

I really see long arms as a bandaid for less than ideal geometry. I did raise my control arm mounting points on my axle

Lower lift and drop brackets would be badass might out do long arms for ride quality. I really don't see them being a hindrance in the rocks.
