Haven't seen any reviews on these so figured I'd offer up some input. A buddy of mine bought a set and we compared them to some of the others on the market, Rough Country, AEV and they seem to be exactly the same as far as how well they are made and how they installed. I'm not speaking about the stamped steel AEV ones for $300, particularly I'm comparing them to the ones between $99-$130. I only bought them over the Rough Country ones because they had a 15% coupon on Amazon so they cost me $86 shipped. Install was pretty straight forward, the instructions that came with them are not real helpful so if you don't know how to install them then you may want to do some research before hand but they did the job and took most of the bump steer out of the steering that I had going on after I added the 37's and the body roll when changing lanes at 75+ Mph. All in all I'm pretty impressed, and they sell other stuff as well.

Another note is these offer a 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 spot so it can adjust to multiple lift heights. I have a 2.5" SST Readylift installed and Rubicon front spring take offs so I'm right around 3.5 inches of lift. I set mine in the 3.5 lift spot, right In the middle and it's perfect.

Mine get delivered tomorrow and will be installed with my EVO 2.5 lift. It’s good to hear the review

Here's a few, you can see they have 3 holes for the 3 different lift sizes. I got a 2.5 inch ready lift set lift kit and rubicon front take off springs 8n the front so I figured the middle would be the best spot for mine and they definitely made a difference in the stability of the JT. Especially going over bumps and when you get a strong crosswind.

Thanks for the write-up. I've seen these advertised, and wondered how they actually mount to the JT. Am I correct in thinking that these are not needed of you already have adjustable control arms? (I have the Clayton kit). I do like how they lower the mounting points of the arms, keeping the arms more parallel to the ground.

That's correct, if you have adjustable control arms you do not need these. These act the same as adjustable control arms in getting the caster back to factory specs.

You can run them with adjustable control arms, you would need to adjust the control arms to factory length. This would get the control arms back to parallel and may help with steering issues. BUT, they also reduce your ground clearance when off road.

So pick your poison....

I always see the ground clearance comments about these brackets but have never saw or heard of anyone ever having a issue out of them when off roading. I ran them on my JKU for almost 6yrs and never once did I feel like they prevented me from going where I wanted to. I guess if your running smaller tires or a small lift then maybe you would have a issue. All the more reason to run 35 or 37's IMO

In the pictures above you can see the loss of ground clearance.

Mounting point for LCA is a good 3" lower than factory location. Didn't say it would cause a problem, but it is less clearance in that area.

True it does drop them exactly 3 inches but they still aren't lower than the middle of the Jeep so if your rubbing them then you would basically be rubbing the belly of the Jeep. I get what your saying about it though.
