ive been thinking and if someone can make the drop bracket then they can flip the upper BJ and buy/make a BJ spacer to help fix the angle, add a set of lift keys and you have a pretty cheap and better lift then just a tbar crank i would think

anyone have pics of the drop bracket? i already have rear shackles sitting in the garage and if i can fab up a drop bracket i may give this a shot with the BJ flip/spacer method and see what happens

AGREE! But they have to be able to fit. I wish we could get an a real close amount of drop these brackets drop the diff. It cant be too much because it only shifts the diff and keeps the lower mount the same

As someone who has installed this kit and has done some after install measurements, i have noticed that the driver side is 1/2" lower than the psg side. when the weather gets warmer im gonna try and figure out how i can get the psg side down lower as the cv angle is worst on the psg than on the driver side and you can see that in the pics recently posted above.

thats what i thought too but i measured from the ground to the center bottom of the fender on both sides and they were the same. to get my measurement difference of 1/2" i actually crawled under my vehicle and took the measurement at the the cv going into the diff/axle tube to the ground.
