Default control arm relocation brackets

Does anyone know the downsides of these? Rough country sells them for the front. Do you know where I could pick some up for the rear?

So it's best to just grab the adjustables?

Bad idea in my opinion
Wouldn't that put them in the stock location if a 2" lift is used?

I think they are used to get the angle of the arms back more horizontal for better drivability. This helps over bumps by allowing the axle to move up instead of back.

I really like that point, for the cost of the relocation brackets it seems fairly worthwhile. I can weld too, so if I feel like putting some skids on that would also be possible
