RA drop brackets will restore the RA's angle back to stock. Therefore, yes.. stock bushings will work and recommend upgrading to poly (Energy Suspension) bushings.

I prefer black poly bushings. Red bushings seem to say "LOOK! I'M A RED BUSHING!!". I just don't get it.

According to the LMC catalog, 0 to 2-degree offset is OK up to a 2-inch lift. Since you've got RA drop brackets, you'd be okay since the RA's angles are returned to or near stock.

Breathe!
