What is the consensus on using the AEV or Rancho LCA drop brackets?
Thinking about going with the AEV drop brackets in combination with my 3" teraflex lift to correct pinion angle because they are cheaper than front adjustable lca and seem hassle free. I know you lose a few inches of clearance under the LCA bracket using them, but I wonder how much of an issue that is for general trail running and offroading, not rock crawling. Also I run 35's now, will be upgrading to 37's soon, and my rig is a daily driver that only goes offroad maybe once a month. So not so sure how necessary that extra 2" under the LCA is?
Wondering if anyone using them has complaints, got rid of them due to clearance issues, or any other reason?

I just had an 2" HD OME with the Sport Shocks & JKS misc. components installed on my 11 2Dr Sport Automatic Hard Top. I also had them install the AEV Lower Control Arm Relocator. I truly don't know what difference they make themselves, but I can tell you the Ride is incredible and the Expansion Joints on the Hwy don't exist. I am extremely satisfied with this total installation. The lift gained 3 1/2 inches.
I would say AEV over Rancho for sure, but I would dish out a little more and get either Teraflex or Rock Krawler Adjst. LCA's. I ran TF on my 2DR and Rock Krawler currently on the 4Dr, both are great and solid, however RK gives you some more clearance than TF.
