drop radius arm brackets
at what point do you need to get drop radius arm brackets?
i have the plow package so my truck sits 1in higher then normal and im looking at a 2in level kit so 3in total over a standard f250 most kits are 2.5in and ones with drop brackets are 3.5 so im stuck right in the middle lol or just go with a 1.5 level and be stuck with 1in of rake

Most radius arm brackets are for 4.5" lifts, but imo you can't have too much caster so I wouldn't hesitate to use them on a 3". I'm actually getting the adjustable 3-link PMF radius arms so I can dial in the caster to my liking.

You are gonna like those. Just make sure you torque em to spec!

Yes. Been running em for close to a year. I thought I was close using a big bar on em. Was finally able to get my hands on a big torque wrench. Boy was I wrong. They will let you know if they aren't tight enough. They will pop and creak.

But best case would be the PMFs for $900. I love me some adjust-ability.

My trigger finger was twitching to buy the Carli RAs...but for $1400 and they aren't even adjustable...just seems like a monumental waste to me. At worst, I would just get the BDS arms for $550. Gives you a little more caster than the Carli RAs and about $1000 less...for no discernable difference.
