Procomp makes a high quality bracket for 4" in lifts, but I put it on my truck with a 4" lift and it dropped the driveshaft too far, now it's at a slight downward angle. I will soon replace the $45 bracket with a shim kit, which allows you to shim the carrier bearing down 1/4 inch at a time until its perfect. Tuff country is one company that sells such a shim kit:
