drop brackets

I just added boomerang shackles to the rear, what a ride difference!!! The shackles lifted the rear one inch, so I want to level the front out by putting a spacer in the front.

I have a one inch spacer to add to the front of my jeep to make it 4.5 inches, which will then match the rear. I want to get drop brackets and put them on at the same time. I have read a ton on the drop brackets, and have read that I don't need adjustable control arms. Is this true? I have the RE lowers that come with the RE 3.5 kit.

where is the best place to by the drop brackets and the braces/ lowest price?

It depends on which arms you had before the drop brackets. I had all 4 rusty's fixed arms and after I installed the brackets my caster was off so I made my uppers adjustable with SF Bushings. So In my case, Yes, I had to have adjustables. Your case maybe not, but I don't know.

I'll say this, buy them from Loose Nuts Enterprises... he cut me a good deal.
