I'm going to wait until I can pick up a set of adjustable lower control arms.

Was dead set on getting the AEV control arm relocation brackets but my specs in lift height fall outside of their range so I ordered some Rough Country adjustable control arms for $179.

I installed the Rough Country control arms last night. They're built pretty well for the cost. My caster went from 3.5 degrees to 6.5 degrees. It made a big difference in the steering. I was only able to take it for a short test drive because it was pouring out last night but the twitchiness seemed to be gone and there was less harshness over the stutter bumps. Lengthening them even a little bit seems to make a big difference in the ride quality.
I think a fender trim and front bumper/winch are next.
