Ok I have 2013 jk Unlimited Sport 4 in lift control arm drop brackets . Question is I got a pull to the right so I got adjustable lower control arms do I still needs the drop brackets or not thanks
Typically, no. Usually you'll pick adjustable control arms or the brackets. Do you have alignment print outs? That'll be something folks ask about. The other thing would be tire pressure- are you certain they're all the same? You've rotated tires to eliminate that as an issue?
The brackets do still help the ride with the geometry so need is based on your opinion of the ride. I would suspect the pull to be related to something else though like Karl said.
Just because you have control arm brackets does not mean that you have ideal caster. Clearly better than no control arm brackets, but without alignment specs, everyone will just be guessing. In the same respect, saying a "4" lift" is vague for us, no fault to you....it just is what it is. You could have a 4" lift that is netting 5" of actual lift, or a 4" lift with saggy springs under a heavy jeep that is actually netting less than 3.5" of actual lift. It can be a pretty big window but that difference is huge.
Thank you. Tire pressure good.i had a alignment awhile back when I had 3 in lift blocks no drop brackets it still pulled to the right. Not as bad now with 4 in teraflex springs controll arm drop brackets. adjustable track bar. dual steering stabilizer bds . And lower adjustable control arm that I have not installed yet

I would increase the caster a little bit. Everything else looks pretty good. camber is high but nothing really can be done about that or at least easily done.
Yup, if I'm seeing that correctly, caster is 3.2*. You really want that up over 4*. Are you already maxed out on the adjustment holes in the brackets? Also, theoretically with dual stabilizer, should have equal pressure going each way, but you might disconnect that and take a test spin. The cheapest single stabilizer is adequate tbh. A lot of people put a gas charged unit there and it pushes one way as there is so much force constantly trying to expand. would think 2 stabilizers would counter each other, but never know. Most of us aren't a fan of the dual SS.
What length should the lower control brackets be with drop brackets. Thanks for all your help
depends. What holes are your geo brackets in and what brand. From where you sit right now i would increase your lower control arms 3/16” or so and see what happens or leave them and drop down a hole in the geo brackets
