i went with the rancho drop brackets. the closer you can keep your control arms to level the better it will handle. with the 4 or 5 inches im going to gain over all losing 1 dosent bother me any.

Being my lift kit was AEV I also purchased their Geo Brackets . I have always used Johnny Joints on both ends of the lower front controls arms on my TJs. I opted for the Currie adjustable lower fronts on the JK also. I prefer to have adjustable arms vs fixed just because of the fact that my Jeeps are never finished and usually need to readjust things planned or not.

Are there rear correction brackets? I have a 2.5 tf bb and only see talk about the front. The rear looks more off in geometry than the front. Just wondering. Thanks

The rear isn't as much of an issue. As you lift higher, both pinions rotate upwards. Up front, that automatically lowers the caster, which makes the steering flighty, which causes people to want to adjust it. In back, no worries about caster angles. The rear pinion raising a bit shouldn't be a big deal, as long as it doesn't go too high. (around 2 degree below inline with the tcase output is the recommendation I generally see)
