    They look like they're all about looks. And then they have all that stuff added to the bottom thats just gonna scrape. They look good dont get me wrong, but are they any better than my current 3in lift set up? One You-tuber made a point that they are better, atleast the 4in, because since it comes with the drop bracket, it line everything back up with stock.

    With a drop bracket lift, there’s no going back. Personally, I could find a much better way to spend $1,100 on a quality suspension setup that won’t ever fail offroad.

    But do they really look good? If you have ever been on a snowy trail you would find that drop bracket to be used like a snow plow. Most 1-3” suspension lifts are more than enough for off-roading with the right tires. Personally I would leave my truck stock and buy great tires before putting on a drop bracket lift...just sayin

    Well it can be changed back any good welder can fix that. But I would find something else but Junk Country. Better off with a quality 3 inch lift than that. Research research research, then when you think you are done research some more. Figure out budget, uses, etc.

    No, that'll hinder you off road more than help you due to the low hanging drop bracket lift.

    Thanks for the input guys. I wasnt really looking to install one of these, I was just more curious than anything. That drop bracket really looks like it would hit all sorts of stuff out on the trails.
