LCA axle braket bent, do any long/short arm lifts come with replacements?
Okay, so my jk got messed up. a piece of corrugated steel blew out my passenger front tire and I almost lost the whole rig. Unfortunately in my attempt to keep it on the wheels I was not able to avoid a huge hole.
So, now I have got a wasted tire, busted wheel, busted shock, and my lower control arm axle bracket is bent so badly that my passenger tire is rubbing my step tube on right turns and my drivers side tire is rubbing the front bumper.
The only thing I have done is a 2" body lift and 18" wheels, with 33" tires.
My main question at this point is about a long arm or short arm lift kit. I am unable to find just a bracket to replace the bent one and even then I am sure I would need to replace my control arms as they are most likely toast.
I would like to know if anyone here has ever seen a kit that contained new lca axle brackets? All the kits I have found use the existing brackets.

You'll probably need to check to see if your axle is bent. Check that CA bracket at the frame as well. Here are some more axle side brackets http://www.synergymfg.com/Synergy-Su...l#.UlIMzDK9KK0 http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...le-mounts.html You are up the creek if you need a frame side bracket. I looked all over and couldn't find one that fit the stock location.
Ballistic, synergy, genright, rusty's, blue torch fab, trail ready all should have mounts you would need and would be much stronger then the factory brackets. Clayton makes a nice replacement cross member with the mount integrated into them but will require long arms. Rebel has a new cross member as well but I like the clayton better.
Any long arm kit out there should have new frame brackets.
