As for the brackets, they were designed specifically for AEV's lift. There is no adjustability, so with someone else's lift you can hope they do the trick...

im stepping up to 35s and also plan to go to the RE 3.5 coils as well on my 2 door. In order to correct my pinion and caster angles would i need adjustable upper or lower control arms. i will eventually get both but my budget does not allow me to right now. also, i noticed that many of the big names are pretty much the same price, is there any brand that comes out on top? i was looking at the Rubicon express, rock krawler, full traction, and teraflex.

Majority of the threads say front lowers and rear uppers are all you need to dial the caster back in. I'm so eager to install them that when they get delivered this week I'll probably put them on in the driveway even though it's barely 20degrees outside!
