OK, I checked summit for the AEV brackets, but they didn't carry those. Are any better out of the 3, AEV, JKS or ranchero? Yeah, send me the discount code, I need to order a license plate holder also anyway.

 

They all do the same thing. The Rancho and JKS are 1 piece and are a little easier to install. The JKS may have different settings for bigger lifts, the Rancho has only one like the AEV. On AEV's website I'm pretty sure that they list a lift requirement for the drop brackets and show you where to measure. I'll PM you the 10% off.

 

The AEV has three holes for various lift sizes which is probably a better option especially at 4" in height.

AEV maintains stock caster at 2.5/3.5/3.5
The 3 holes mean nothing actually. The hole positions are not adjustments but settings depending on height,
Even if you were able to adjust, you wouldn't want to push caster too high at 4" of lift.
The Rancho brackets average 5* at 2.5 and lower at 4" (I am at 4* @ 3.5)
The Rancho brackets are more compact and seem stronger. I ran both back to back and caster stayed the same. I run the Rancho brackets currently.

The air pressure made a huge difference. I went from 50 psi to 31 psi. Felt like I floated to work. Much softer and less tracking

 

Keeper, how much lift do you have? I thought the rancher site said they were for 3"-4"? Is my 2.5 too short for those rancho brackets?

 

No sir
Plenty of guys running them with 2.5
Caster is right at 5* which is perfect at that height.
I am at 3.5, caster 3-4*

I think im going with the JKS. setting for 2" of lift, one peice design, and JKS builds solid gear.

 

Nice but $175 ... That's crazy

That does not sound unreasonable to me. you should own a Harley. 150 for grips.
