sure they work well but ultimately you are not going save a ton of money. You are going to do like I did buy 2 different set ups and ultimately get what you want lol. you can get TF alpine arms from either 4wd.com or nr4x4 for probably under $25 with discount. No you don't need an alignment but it is nice to see where your caster actually. You can measure yourself with an angle finder but I have found that is not as accurate as an alignment as it is tough to have a 100% level surface. geo brackets do great but this what I dialed in with my alpine arms and man does it drive nice.

So does rough country, but the JKS are strong, one piece and fully adjustable. Much better than AEV, RANCHO, RE, and RC. the perfect mix of the strength of rancho and adjustability of the AEV.

I am considering the Metalcloak version. One piece sturdy design like Rancho plus the three hole choice like AEV.
I have Metalcloak lowers right now but am thinking about adding the brackets to see how well they help the suspension soak up road joints, etc. Probably run them with the lowers so I can still have fine tune capability.
