Got a 1996 jeep cherokee with 6.5 rough country lift (short arm). It rides really rough... Any opinions whether to go with control arm drop or long arms? Cad's are a lot cheaper !

what kind of wheeling do you do?

Long arms are best but budget and offroad environment can effect it

As of now lite wheeling every once and a while

Currently in college and time is hard to come by for wheeling

If on a tight budget get the drop brackets

Have you ever seen or used them ? Just wondering if they work good

Save up for L/A's.....

I've wheeled with someone who had them, seemed to work fine
He ^^^ sells nice ones!

you lose a little ground clearence with the dropbrackets. if you think youll go to long arms someday i would save up for long arms and skip the dropbrackets. if you think youll stick with drop brackets get them

I have the RE drop brackets. I love them. It flexes really good and rides nice... For a jeep :-)

Drop brackets work just fine as long as you have adjustable control arm for realingment .

==========================================
I installed the RCX control arm setup. LOVE IT !!!

I also added fixed LCAs and adjustable upper CAs.
Double shear track bar (fixed length) with both upper and lower track bar relocation brackets.

Works like a charm. I beat it pretty good too.

NEVER got it hung up on anything either.

Side view of my rig
Rolling on 33 x 12.50s and sitting at 6.5" of lift.
The CANYON wheels are offset enough that the 12.50s tuck under the stock fender flares.
See for yourself from this front view.
