I have a friend that is putting about 400 to the ground and got the suggested 1LE LCA's that the link said to get. He hooks better on them than he does when he is driving his SS with aftermarket LCA's and brackets (I think they are BMR but I cold be wrong) Both cars are lowered with prokits.

I would have sent everyone to you but I figured that you probably not like that to much!! :D

Seems like a good write up although there are a couple of issues I would not agree with through my experience. For instance,saying the LCA relo brackets should be parallel to each other and not lower in the back.Says this causes instability at speed. This has not been my experience at all. Not only is my chassis more stable at speed, but my wheelhop disappeared and the car now plows straight ahead instead of fish tailing. All this using the lower or more agressive mounting.:cool:

News Flash! Even engineers can be wrong once in a while. I work with them on a daily basis I know. I do not doubt their creditials has being outstanding. Besides I only stated what my experience has been with my setup. I'm sure an engineer designed the relo brackets with a lower mount for a reason.;)

Yeah, to make money:D :jk:

Well, I have 3 lowered F Bods, and only one set of Relocation brackets...;)

You guys act like this is some sort of brand new discovery. I've been preaching this for years ...

This is ultimately what the bind discussed will do ...

It's great you have had good results.

It's been my experience that there are isolated exceptions to almost every rule.

Congratulations ...

[1CAMWNDR]

We've already talked about that :burnout:. You seem too chicken shit to put a real motor in the Jeep. :neener:

[02 WS6 TA]

chicken shit maybe- broke, for sure! :)

[1CAMWNDR]

Yeah, breaking and fixing a 7.5" 10 bolt 3 times and then buying a 9" will kill the bank account! :eek:
