I installed the front drop brackets on my JL with a 2.0 turbo and Metal Cloak 3.5" lift. It does drop your clearance by a few inches but I have yet to hit them off-road running 35" tires. The vehicles drives more like it did in stock form on the street and has better control over small bumps and rough sections off-road. I would definitely use them again. I have no knowledge of the rear brackets though.
And you get more bling. Of course the real show piece is your six packs.I installed the front drop brackets on my JL with a 2.0 turbo and Metal Cloak 3.5" lift.

Thanks for the input...And you get more bling. Of course the real show piece is your six packs.
Heres a comparison pick for clearance, smaller lift.
Don, I saw a post on FB about these and gave serious consideration to installing. But after reading the comments from folks that do go offroad and issues hanging up on the brackets, I decided to pass. If the 392 was just a mall princess, I would install them. I do plan to wheel mine as much as possible.
Yeah, I can definitely see wheee those would be vulnerable.
I'm still thinking about it....I had the 4.5" AEV lift with drop brackets on my 2013 JK....I wheeled the Rubicon and 5/6 trails in Moab without a problem. I think it depends on tire placement...
Don, I had a 2014 AEV built JKUR with the 4.5" lift. Enjoyed it very much and wheeled the heck out of it.
I wonder if it's because Jeep made changes to the frame in certain areas for the 392....
