Geometry correction brackets/ front only?

[Grayhound]

As I look at lifting I've come across geometry correction brackets, but i only see front except for @Metalcloak

If geometry correction makes sense for the front why not the back? Why is metal clock the only company I can find offering both?

I just installed front and rear metalcloak correction brackets in my JK with 2.5 lift. I won’t have much feedback for another week or two due to waiting for more unrelated parts to come in. Doing this as a trial run, if they improve the Jeep I’ll probably add them to my father’s JK and my 24 2 door when it gets lifted.

The rear axle is a solid beam with parallel wheels at either end.
Lifting the suspension will not alter the relationship between the rear wheels and the road.
It will change the differential pinion angle, and could cause driveline vibration or wear. This is one possible reason to correct the rear geometry.

The front axle has a complex arrangement with toe in, castor and steering.
Lifting the front will change all of those unless it is corrected, so is more critical.

Front geometry corrections brackets, originally brought to the market by AEV, are primarily designed for stock control arms. If you have fully adjustable front control arms, for most lifted applications you do not need front brackets. Caster angle is easily adjusted by using adjustable control arms. At Metalcloak we only include the Front brackets as part of the 5.5" Mid Arm kits to offset the potential extreme angle of the control arms.

However, we created the DB3 rear correction bracket for use ONLY with adjustable control arms to reset the ANGLE of your arms. By bringing the Angle of the arms down we achieve long arm handling with a mid arm system.

Thank you for the break down. That really helps me understand the difference in brackets and their use cases.

Do you guys have any plans to make your db3 brackets Jeep 392 compatible?
