JKS has a set of drop brackets too. stated to be used for 2" - 4.5. I may even put them on mine. They make a huge difference in handling of the Jeep. If they have a 2" setting im down for a set for sure. mine is not bad but could always be better. The local dealer here puts on 4 in lift with no correction for anything. Their jeeps must handle like crap.

I just saw those too. Do they have two holes for the lowers for different height lifts?

The AEV geometry correction brackets worked wonders for me. No more white knuckles for me

I have a 4" Evo lift on 35" Kevlars and the RC drop brackets.
Ride is decent, a little darty at times which is why I'll be throwing on some AEV brackets I got from my friend. They have a couple extra holes to set your arms up at for more caster.

Ok, I typed in jeep castors because I wasn't sure what that is , aev brackets from quadratec popped up. So, these give it a better ride? I checked my tire pressure and it was 47psi. I am doing the chalk test after church. I still new to the jeep and jacked up thing, so thanks for your help.

Yep those are the ones. Those will help alot with not only ride stability but also bump absorbtion due to flattening out the angle of the arms.

Those tire pressures are way high for a big tire.
My 35's are at 30 psi. What do your side walls say Max PSI cold is?

Ok, chalked the tires. I should have known they had too much pressure. they still had rubber tits on inch inside the sidewall.

BUT, at 28 PSI my tire light is on. What fixes that, put more air in? I have a programmer, but never used it. I doubt it would adjust the tire pressure light....

It was a smoothier ride, but haven't gotten very fast yet

Yeah they tend to start kicking on lights around that psi....try 30-32
