Several companies sell these brackets (AEV, Rancho, JKS). I am leaning toward the JKS brackets because they seem like the best made with welded construction. Plus I already have their track bar, and diconnects. They are both beefy. Anyone have these, or maybe the AEV ones?

 

I ran the AEV ones for a while and they are just as good. Kjeeper10 ran the rancho for a while and liked them a little better because they are a one piece design. They all pretty much do the same thing and are just as good as the other.

 

Rancho/JKS

The JKS look narrower where the LCA bolts too.

 

I have had the AEV brackets for over a year, they are solid and work as advertised. I think AEV was the first on the scene with these, looks like a couple of manufacturers came out with some exact copies pretty fast and now some companies are coming out with the one piece kits.

 

actually i believe Rancho was. AEV used cam bolts in the beginning.

 

I know this was not the question, but.. While at a jeeping event this past week I observed a lot of lifted jeeps getting stuck up on rocks. It appeared that the jeeps were lifted high enough, but had correction brackets hanging low. A lot of the money that was put in the lift appeared to have been somewhat limited by these types of brackets.

For an extra $179 ($279 price) you could buy Rockcrawler hi Clearance lower control arms. I'm sure that there are other quality brands that cost even less (rubicon express, teraflex, etc..) I truly believe in the long run you would be more satisfied by going in that direction. In the grand scheme of things this really isn't a lot of extra money.

Either way, good luck on whatever you decide to do. Cheers....

 

I would agree if max clearance is a concern the brackets would not be the way to go.
