I currently have a 2 inch lift in the front. Looking to go up another inch to inch and a half. I’m wondering what method I should use to correct caster. Clayton and Metalcloak use adjustable upper arms. Molar uses longer fixed lowers. I’m also looking at control arm relocation brackets. I’ll be 99.9% on road. Which solution is the best for my purposes? And what’s the difference between the $100,200, and 300 relocation brackets?

IMO for you amount of lift and use I would go with geometry correction brackets, the Rancho brackets are welded one piece, the cheaper ones may be multi piece, not as strong. Keeping your stock control arms will also be maintenance free and quiet, also no need for an alignment after install.

The mopar arms would be the way I’d go. They aren’t very expensive either.

Is it necessary to do both the arms and the brackets to get correct caster?
No, but from seeing what people are doing with mopar lift they do geo brackets with the control arms and have adjustability to gain more caster to get better steering

Fixed length arms and relocation brackets offer zero adjustability.

Get some adjustable uppers.

If on road get the geo brackets for sure.
Nice ride on the road.
