    You should subtract -approximately- 4" from the LIFT HEIGHT to determine your LOWER control arm length for use with R.E. drop brackets. In other words, if you have an 9" lift WITH R.E. drop brackets, use the l.c.a. measurement for a 5" lift. Upper measurements should remain the same.3 Mar 2009

    Independent rear suspension boosts comfort on rough terrain because the suspension is split. When one tire crawls over a rock, the meat of the opposite maintains contact on the trail, creating a smoother ride over rough terrain. If you have back problems, this style tends to be easier on the joints and bones.22 Mar 2018
