Default Anyone Running Rough Country Control Arm Relocation Brackets?

Just put a 2.5" coil lift on with Bilsteins.

Think I have some mild castor issues as the front springs have a mild bow to them.

Anyone running the Rough Country control arm relocation brackets?

I am also looking at the JKS JSPEC fixed lowers, but the RC bracket fixes both upper and lower CAs. Looks like it sticks down and could get smashed when wheeling, but for $90.......

I have the same thing from AEV and it make my jeep drive much nicer after my lift. No problems with the brackets hanging lower that stock, the brackets on the AEV kit are 1/4 in steel.

Same here, I'm running the AEV drop brackets and very happy with them. They got my 4" lifted unlimited driving great and for $100 I feel they are a no brainer. I have dinged up a few of my skids pretty well, but haven't even dragged a bracket yet. I would buy them again.

Here's a pic so you can see what kind of clearance issues you might have with them...

I just recently put the Rough Country brackets on mine. The ride quality is a lot better, smoother on the highway. They are supposed to help pinion angle closer to stock, though, I haven't checked to see if and how much it changed it.

I'm not running a kit per se, but a composition of parts (progressive rate springs, high steer, and front and rear track bar relocation brackets) produced by a manufacturer who is not allowed to be mentioned on this site but their initials are pp.

Ah, I see. Did you find it to be less expensive than going to "lift kit" route? I was considering the RC 4" without the upper and lower CAs, but going with the front CA bracket.

To OP - mybad for the thread jack.

I grew out of a tera 2.5 coil lift because I wanted more flex and clearance. So I didn't do this because it was less expensive, I did it because I upgraded parts as cash allowed. If I had it to do again I would probably have just went with an AEV 4.5" lift from the start, just because it is an all in one approach that does most everything that my franken lift does.
