After trying to manipulate them around to fit, I decided to put the warriors back on. It's a way better design and better made. No skulls but a design that actually works.

The c-channel I'm picturing if I remember correctly will give about 2 inches of height. I don't have a high lift, much less a hood mount for one or else I would do this.

AEV Control Arm Relocation Bracket
Just got these on and took a test drive. Nice fit, nicely engineered. Three hour install, but that included a visit from the neighbor and frequent breaks to watch the Brewer game...
I decided to use these instead of a cam bolt this time because of AEV's claim of:
AEV's drop brackets change four distinct parameters:
- Lowers arm angle for ride quality.
- Lowers the instant center for better braking (antidive).
- Decreases operating angle of the driveshaft by reducing the range of travel.
- Corrects caster angles.
I would agree, after a test drive that all above is true, except I did not notice a difference in anti-dive. In their defense, I only have a 2 1/2" lift on the front, and they are adjustable for 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" lifts.
I was looking to slow down the steering a bit since it was a little jumpy with the caster change of the 2 1/2" lift, and they work well.

Rubicon, Reborn...
Went away to OBX for a week while Jeff Jurgau and crew at Adrenaline Offroad (Burtonsville, MD) did a bit of work... 
Work included: AEV bumper front and rear (with tire carrier), new rubber, winch, skid plate, and AEV's 3.5" Dual Sport SC lift. I added the IPF lamps two nights ago. Connected to switch 1 on the S.P.O.D. I installed about a month ago. She's shaping up nicely. Oh yeah, and she's no longer a Rubicon...
