Default Front control arm relocation bracket

Just installed a rough country 4" lift and it's driving very bad now. I was wondering if anybody is running this kit from rough country yet. I would ruther try this instead of spending hundreds of dollars on new control arms, any input would be great help thanks to all!

For a hundred bux you will know. The brackets will greatly improve the steering. There is some ground clearance lost at the back end of the lower control arms. Also this setup is not as strong as adjustable arms. Not a problem unless you intend to pound the rocks hard and often.

Mine drove the same way when I installed the RC 3.5 series 2. Just kinda wandered all over the road. Really nervous driving. I added RC adjustable Lowers control arms to the front and it went away. I've heard good things about the relocation brackets but the control arms where about 50 bucks more so I went with those. Totally changed the way mine drives now. It's not a constant fight to drive now. Good luck.

I've had the relocation brackets on for about 30+k miles. Zero issues. I always intended on getting adjustable control arms but honestly you don't even notice that the brackets are there.

That's great I'm still battling which one to get now. Thanks for all the help I couldn't for the likes of me figure out what the heck was wrong and I enjoy my lift but I'd take it off in a heart beat if I couldnt fix that problem.
