would doing adjustable upper and lower control arms accomplish the same thing? Do the geometry correction brackets accomplish any more/less flex?

 

Adj arms let you tilt the housing to adjust the caster/pinion angles. If you get both sets, you can move the entire housing forward/backward in the wheel well.

Brackets adjust the caster/pinion a specific amount. You can not fine tune for any changes in height. (adding bumpers/winch/armor, getting rid of the spare and back seat to shed weight, whatever)

Brackets lower the frame end of the arms to put them more parallel to the ground, which improves handling.

Brackets hang down a bit, which can have a negative effect offroad.

 

Here is the simple breakdown of arms vs. brackets. overlanding/trail riding = brackets, rocks ALOT = arms. I think if you use your rig as a daily driver and go overlanding or adventure seeking a lot the brackets will make your rig handle way better, take bumps better and just behave better on all the stuff like I drive on. If you are on the rocks and need every 1/4 in of clearance right behind your front wheels then control arm setup is the best way to.

 

That's pretty much it. Control arm (long or short) do not change actual geometry whereas the brackets do.

I will be running both w/ arms set to stock or slightly longer in length. Currently i have uppers only.
