Hey guys, im looking to do a 4.5" lift. I was thinking of buying either the Rough Country, Zone, or Rusty's add-a-leaf kits and seeing if they will sell them without the LCA's. I want to do a Drop bracket and use stock arms. Will this give me any added benefit? OR is it completely useless? THis is a dd/weekend trail use mixed with a total budget build. I want the most off-road performance possible. Long arms are out of question at this time so no need to reccomend. Would if I could...

thanks!

 

i have a rc lift with drop brakets. rides nice on the street and flexes very good on the trail.

 

Do the drop brackets they ride and handle great. I'm at 6 of lift with stock control arms and the axle sits perfect in the fender plus it aligned perfect.it will also flex great!

 

Sounds good. With only 2 replies, I feel the drop bracket is the way to go. Thanks for the input guys!

 

I went with CAD bracket and Adj Control Arms (RC) .

At 4.5" lift, you do not need to have adjustable control arms.
Here is why.
I was ignorant before i got hold of my CAD brackets, thinking ALL this while its use to drop the lower control arms, but the fact is CAD brackets are use to drop BOTH upper and lower control arms.

This should give you a rough idea.

Notice the original UCA bracket is replaced by a sleeve.
