has anyone had any experience with these yet? what lift were you running with them?

i agree. i think this would be amazing. only thing i worry about is the bracket drops your arm down about 2" lower than stock so i hope not to drop off over something and drag the arm. other than that it looks very promising

 

I have them as they came with my AEV 3.5" lift. The system works very well with excellent handling and ride quality. They do lower the mounting point a bit, but like any other part under your Jeep the right impact is going to do damage. They are not lower than your diff or axle though and not too far aft of the tire. I'd rather bung up a replaceable cheap part than my frame mounted brackets. Also, it would have to be a lateral hit (not that it couldn't happen) to do much damage

 

AWESOME! thanks for the info.. any trouble with the install?

 

do you wheel your jeep? if so, why did you spend as much money as you have installing a 4" lift on it? now, why would you purposefully want to lower a point on your jeep that already gets hit all the time even LOWER? while they do get your supension geometry back to stock, they do it at the cost of clearnace and add no benefit to your jeeps off road abilities.

now, if you're jeep is just a pavement princess, these work just fine.

 

i do wheel. im no hard core every weekend wheeler like moby haha but i do wheel fairly often. im just worried about installing LCA and having trouble setting my caster just right because i am a DIY guy. i use the forum and these write ups to help me get through every day life haha!

 

you don't have to be a hard core wheeler to find something like this to be a liability on the trail. your lower control arm mounts are located directly behind your front tires and do get hit all the time as is. lower this point along with the control arms will only make things worse.

if your concern is in regards to setting caster, it's really a piece of cake. all you need to do is follow my write-up here:

then LCA arms it is! another great write up.. THANKS!

 

really, this is the proper way to go being that you wheel your jeep.

 

I have these. I dont wheel as much as i would like to, but when i do wheel it is usually mud or sand so hitting rocks isnt that big of a concern. I have the Rubicon Express 3.5 lift. These helped fix some of my steering issues like bump steer and wondering on the road. However my steering is definitely not perfect. I thought the installation was going to be easy, but my exhaust was in the way, and it turned out to be a real PITA. I would have gone for lower control arms, but i wanted to save some money.
