    RE lift?

    I have a drop kit on mine because the long arm is not available. I really tried to wait for RE to release the LA, but couldn't wait. I am pleased with the drop bracket 5.5 Extreme from RE. Ride is great and I am happy with it. I went all through Tellico and never hit the brackets...
