Do you need relocation brackets if.... your car is not lowered any? I had the Pro-Kit on my car and still have the relocation brackets. Should I sell them or can they still help me with the stock springs in back. Thanks.

Re: Do you need relocation brackets if.... i would run LCA lowering brackets on any car that has a sliding/pivioting front mount on the TA. they work very well to lift the rear of the car on acceleration help traction. any car with a solidly mounted TA (Madman, Billingsley, etc) should not use the brackets

How about a lowered car with a solid TA mount?
Thanks,

Re: Do you need relocation brackets if.... hopefully Madman will chime in and explain it better than i can, but heres how i understand it:
when using LCA lowering brackets, you cause the TA and LCAs swing on different Arcs. this is no problem on a stock/random tech/spohn/etc arm because the arm can move forwards and backwards with the front mount. on a Madman/billingsley etc arm though, the TA is solidly mounted at the front, and the suspension will go into a bind when the separate arcs try to pull/push the rearend different amounts as the suspension travels. the result will be a poor suspension travel, and possibly broken/bent parts
