get yourself lower adjustable control arms. save the correction bracket headache. JKS make really nice parts. I justt moved from there 2.5" lift with lower arms to 3.5" springs and the only thing i did was make an adjustment to the control arms. well worth it for future upgrades. I actually just finished installing the upper control arms last night. Test drove to work today to check clearance on my 37's to see what i want to do for bump stop extensions lower arms are cheap and easy to install
They do two different things.

Drop brackets restore the control arms angle after a lift with the side effect of correcting the caster.

Control arms upgrade give you stronger arms, better bushings, and adjustability. The steep control arm angle will still be there with adjustable control arms.

The flatter the control arms, the better, both on and offroad. Either a set of $300 brackets, or $3000 full on long arms.

rather have the better arms and more clearance. 4.5 years with my current lower control arms with zero issues today. * knock on wood * at 3/3.5" of lift correction really isnt needed. anything more then i would be worried i agree though long arms are the best way to go

They do different things and they are not mutually exclusive. I started out with brackets and then added all 8 arms.

I simply laid out what they are and what they can/can not do. Which route you want to go its up to you.

Why aren't they compatible? I'm running them on my Jeep right now.
I believe the later model year has a crash bracket from the factory in that area..

We are doing a final fitment in R&D of a production model to ensure everything is right. Once that is done it will go live.
