I just got the RC RCX control arm drop brackets. I'm at 5.5" lift with stock arms, rides like crap obviously. I can afford to by either the front LOWER or front UPPER right now in adjustable or fixed. Which one will help out "my cause" best and correct caster? Upper or Lower? Thanks for your advice!

Id say you need both for sure. check with iron man offroad. ironman 4x4 fab or however it is. they usually have a set with free shipping cheaper than the rest and from what i have heard they are top notch

The long arms are just way too much for me. I already have the new drop brackets. I've seen some extreme wheeling done on short arms with drop brackets. I guess I'll have to price both upeer and lower arms then, but doesn't RE or others sell their 5" lift kit with just lower controll arms?

Upper for caster and lower to set wheel base. Either way, short arms arent going to help your ride much any way you look at it when you're sittin' that high.
