Control Arms
Once you put the cam bolts in you will have to deal with them , it's better not to put them and drive a little till you get the RC brackets , the cams are not going to give you that much of a noticeable difference so it better to not use them and just get the brackets , the reason I say this is from experience I did what you are doing
The 4" kit didn't come with new lower control arms? My 3.5" kit did and I ordered an adjustable track bar at the same time. My Jeep drives just like stock once I re-centered the axle.

I still don't understand all the RC hate
Lots of guys are running their lifts without issues. Why would I spend 2 grand on a lift I can get for $500??? Sure the more expensive kit will be more durable for serious wheeling but for those of us that don't run little sluice or similar trails RC products work just fine.

I ordered my first lift from Rough Country. Installed it. Blew out a front shock 6 weeks later (no wheeling). Rough Country was nice enough to send a replacement PAIR. What i received: a set of shocks for a bronco. Not a JK. Called RC, they said no problem we will send you the right shocks and a pick up tag for those bronco shocks. What i received: a set of shock bushings and no pick up tag. Still have those shocks in a box somewhere, 3 years later.
Blew out another RC shock a couple months later.
The solution: removed RC springs and shocks, reinstalled them in the trash bin.
Skyjacker and JKS hardware. 2 years+ , 60k miles+ , lots of weekend wheeling. Still going strong.
I could argue that RC parts are not vehicle specific.
Could also argue that RC parts are not up to part.
This reminds me... i think my rear trackbar bracket is RC. Brb while i go cut it off before it breaks!
$425 sounds like a great deal for a 2" lift, doesn't it? Save yourself some future headache and $$. Spend an extra $100 for higher quality hardware.
