Wow. I could have used this video last year installing these exact drop brackets. My son and I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to line up the holes. I’m pretty sure we invented a new language while we were at it too. Haha. Nice work.

As a long time follower of Wayalife, I only have one question for you, how you keep these jeep so clean that I can not find any dirt on your jeep😂😂😂

Eddie, your videos never fail to entertain! I eagerly anticipate each new installment where you not only add exciting new features to the Jeep but also provide clear, step-by-step installation guides. Your content has been immensely helpful in customizing both my Jeep and my wife’s. I'd love to see your next video cover installing rear axle shafts or upgrading to a bolt-on long arm kit. Looking forward to it, Eddie! Keep up the great work!

Great video. I ran geometry correction brackets about 5 years on my 2016 JKUR with a 4" lift, and 37's/ 38's. The brackets did help, but I was on fixed control arms. When I switched to adjustable mid arms, and got rid of the brackets. After an alignment the Jeep drove just as well. I am not going to say they are snake oil because they do work for fixed control arms, but if you have adjustable control arms there isnt much I could tell to gain. At least that was my experience. I am also not a pro by any means, so take my thoughts with a gain of salt. In the grand scheme of things these are about $150. give it a shot, and it may help you out a ton more than it did for me. Cons: 1) There is a ton of leverage/force applied to the brackets. Even when properly torqued the bracket If you do not re torque the bolts after say 500 miles or so the bracket can rock leading to oblong through holes. This will lead to poor tolerances on the bolts, and the bracket will "rock" in the direction the force is applied. You will begin to hear a clunking sound. 2) You need to get fully boxed design. There are "sandwich" designs out there, and they will bend/fold. The ones in this video seems boxed, and of good quality. 3) Rocks can eat these up. On larger tires it is less of an issue. Mine were semi beat up with 37's/38's. Also just like I mentioned above the through holes can get messed up if you take to many hits with the rocks. These multiply the forces seen via leverage, so keep that in mind. Like anything offroad you need to check them after trail runs. 4) There are a lot of folks out there whom do not understand what these things do. They will constantly, and irritatingly try to tell you these are worthless, or dumb. Even if they have now clue what your build criteria is about. Not all rigs are the same nor are your needs. 5) This is nit picky, but you take a small hit in the ground clearance department technically. The only time I even noticed was the once in a blue moon direct hit in the rocks out here in the PNW. Specifically Reiter ORV park. The rocks are large boulders strategically placed along the trail system. You can look it up YT to see what I am talking about. Regular scenic trails I never touched these on obstacles.

Another excellent video. EVen though I already have brackets, I watched the whole thing. ha. These are consistently the best install/how to videos, and enjoyable to watch. Just as a side, I prefer (and use) the Rancho brackets as they allow for a little adjustment of the upper control arms as they have 3 positions to use. Using your older videos as inspiration, I did a Rancho lift with the 9000xl shocks a few months ago and got 3" of lift. I added the Mopar extended lower LCAs (Not ready to drop $1k or more on a set of arms) and the Rancho bracket and have dead on 6 degree caster and the the jeep handles great. If I need to do anything on my Wrangler, your videos are the first ones I look at (and usually the only ones i need).

Awesome Outstanding job thanks you

I’ve said this before but I will say it again. Watching your videos sure makes it tough to stay away from the Jeep dealerships. That rig looks awesome and thank you for walking us through the process.

Great video as always. Thanks!

As always great video

Have loved my teraflex drops with the drop bracket Reinforcements. Has worked perfectly for 3 hard years now.

Great instructions!

Awesome explanation of why and how. Those brackets look great, they don’t seem like they’ll hang up too bad. 👍

Another great video Eddie (and cindy) thank you

Gotta love EVO products. Thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy your videos. Very informative, accurate and entertaining.

Thanx again for great info and video

Always enjoy your installs….

My friend your timing is on point, love your content, stay well and healthy!

I just put on Metal Cloak Drop brackets and control arms a month ago. Wasn't too bad and only took about 2 hours to do.

Another well done video!! Thank you for sharing.

Nice video you guys. Great to hear your feedback on these. Definitely a great addition for the daily driver/weekend warrior 🤙🏼

Good video

Awesome thank you for sharing your expertise wall of us

Glad I saw one of your earlier videos on EVO’s long arm kits for the JL. Been very happy with them. Still a great video on the drop arm bracket kit. Thanks for sharing

Another great video Eddie. 🤟⚔️🇺🇸

I agree with you, I installed them on my gladiator and it made a noticble difference. Keep up the great videos!!

Great to see you working the tools. I must say at my age that 100 plus torgue is tuff laying on the ground. I had some sway bar bracket that needed torqing on my Merceds van and that was a struggle. Buy yourself a 15/16 wrench next time the Snap on guy swings by.😊

Can't stop watching! ��

Running 4.5" MC lift on my JLU noticed HUGE difference after installing front and rear MC drop brackets! Haven't had any issues rock crawling either.. Nice install video BTW

Evo once again made another great kit. These work best with fix control arms. Though if you're lucky enough to have adjustable control arms, I would highly suggest getting the alignment readjusted once done. As this is exactly why we have adjustable arms... so we can adjust the axle angles to the proper alignment after a large lift. It will only help make good things better.

Always 🇺🇸 👍 great 👍 stuff 👍 🇺🇸 😊

Great video! Learned something new which is always a good thing. Bad thing… you make it look way too easy! 😂

That Jeep sure has a clean underside…

👌

Gotta tell you, I have drop brackets on my 2.5” lifted 2-door JL and it is a BIG DIFFERENCE in the driving and steering. I couldn’t quite get the bottom mega torque on that bolt with the clearance I forgot to give myself, so I used a floor jack to torque it. Hope it’ll help one of y’all, out there.

Great demo as usual, thanks. dose the control arm drop brakets solve the death wobble for 2.5" lift?

Question, is something like this not required for the rear? Thanks, great vid!

👍

Can you do it on a jeep renegade latitude 4x2 sport 😮

Great video! Super informative. I have a jk with 3.5 lift and fixed UCA and adjustable LCA to be 4.3 degree caster now. With the drop bracket should I readjust the LCA length or just leave it as you did? the whole axle will move a bit forward so. Thank you!

Bolts come off so easy wished my xj did this as well , unfortunately the break everyone of them 😅

Great video as always. I do have a question though as I’m planning to install a lift for the first time myself in the near future. If the drop brackets were installed at the time of the lift, would you have altered the length of the control arms differently than what they are now? Hope this question makes sense. I’m a newb with this kind of thing.

Ok so hear is my question is it better to have the caster adjusted back to a factory setting or is it better to have less of a difference between driveshaft and pinion angle? because you are going to have to choose one or the other.

Would this work in conjunction with a kit with replacement “ caster correcting” lower control arms?

I have adjustable front lowers and fixed uppers just like in the video. If I install the drop brackets do I have to adjust the length of the lowers back to factor length?

Great video as usual. May I ask a question. What do you think about the aev 2 inch spacer lift? If I get it, should I get adjustable front and rear track bars of will the factory track bars still be fine? Thank you in advance.

Hello. I always watch your videos. Do you have any recommended control arms for the JK Wrangler?

Do you suggest doing a front end alignment after installing? Or is that necessary?

You went back to stock lengths for the upper and lowers after putting the drop brackets on?

Not a drop bracket question but replacing my LCA with Mopar kit longer ones and can’t get wrenches under it enough to loosen then torque. Can I just do this with axle on jack stands like you’re doing here so weight is on the axle?

Did I miss in the video where you measured the caster angle?

what model lift is on the JT from EVO

Who makes that giant torque wrench?

Hi.. Would Control Arm down brackets help with Death Wobble on an Cherokee XJ..?

It looks like the ones for a 2018 rubicon are a little different

Did you not have to reset your caster?
