I have a 98 Cherokee with the RE 5.5", and I want to level the front with the back and the passenger side is lower than driver side so I am thinking ACOS. I have the regular control arms that come with the kit, will the drop brackets make up for not being able to adjust the arms?

Thanks

Mike

I ran a set of acos on the front of my XD 5.5 lifted XJ for over a year. After the springs settled the front sat a good 1.5" (about the size of the acos) high in the front. I dig that look anyways, so it was not a big deal.

As for the arms, the drop brackets dont make up for the lack of adjustablity for fine tuning, but do help out the geometry.

I just installed the drop brackets and they REALLY made a great difference.

Big time! I run about 6.75" of lift with ACOS and the drop brackets non-adjustable RE arms, and the ride is quite nice.
