Drop brackets are all, as far as I know, designed to bolt in.
Long arms... "most" kits are designed to bolt in. "Some" require welding, last I looked. "several" bolt in but "recommend" welding. No one-size-fits-all answer. Generally speaking, long arms are more involved to install than drop brackets because while brackets are already on the Jeep for short arms, there's not much that the factory did to make a long-arm install easier. In fact I think you usually have to cut off the factory brackets (though that isn't a big deal)
