I would install the lift first. Read your caster numbers and drive it. Do they work ?
Yes. Combat flighty steering by increasing caster and flatten out the arms for Better handling.
Do you wheel ? If clearance is a issue, adjustable lowers might be a better choice.
Now with that being said. If you want a drop bracket... Go with Rancho's version.
These are getting some good reviews. Couple AEV folks choosing the Rancho's over their own.
Compact, 1 piece and mount inside the factory mounts. I ran the AEV's and now the Rancho's
Better bracket IMO

In order to install the bracket on the passenger side you will have to pry away the exhaust Y-pipe. The easiest way to do so is to put the factory scissor jack between the pipe and the frame. The strain on the Y-pipe will stress your exhaust manifold which has the potential to crack. It happened to me. If it happens to you, you will hear a ticking noise from the engine especially when the manifold is still cold.
In the meantime I have installed stainless steel headers and next time I would opt for adjustable LCAs. No hassle with the Y-pipe and more ground clearance.

So i ordered the AEV brackets right before I read your post on here. After I saw your post I did al little more research about the ranchos, and I saw tons of good stuff. I think I'm going to order those instead. Hopefully quadratec won't give me any problems canceling my order.
Hold up and I'll post a link for the Rancho's cheaper.
