Default Control arm drop brackets without the brace?

To put it simply am thinking about the rubicon express control arm drop brackets. Not sure if the extra cost for the braces is really necessary in my case. Needing some input from people that have them. I don't really wheel the jeep, it's a pavement pounder 95% of the time. Occasionally will take it off-road but nothing extreme by any means. Just trying to see if it's really worth the cost to buy them also. Thanks for your input.

Yep, definitely worth the coin for added strength and stability.

Default CAD Braces

Braces highly recommended. I do not know why RE offers them separately.

So for that matter it would be more feasible tongi with the rocky road drop brackets that have the braces built in. Unless Serious puts a hellacious deal on both pieces tomorrow…

It's because the drop brackets fit both the XJ and MJ but the braces only fit the XJ.

I had no problems with RR CADs or ordering them. They shipped in a timely manner and they answered my phone call and questions. This was over a year and a half ago so I dont know how they are right now but I would buy their gear again.
