You don't need it but they say the ride is better with the drop brackets.

I drop mine with stock arms and a 1/2" shim... it still stuff the tires going up, but could not do much going down... it rode fine... not bumpy like everyone makes it out to be...

I would not recommend it... but you could do it... if you do I would make sure to grind above the axle side lower control arm bracket, on the coil bucket...
