If you have traction loss and wheel hop after lowering then get the relocation brackets.

I didn't do them on any of my lowered fbodys, but after talking to quite a few people, I will do them with springs and the aj phb this time. A good friend said he couldn't believe how much better the car drove either.

The brackets are sometimes needed on lowered cars if the LCA's aren't level to the ground anymore. With the car sitting on the ground, look at the side of the LCA, it should be close to parallel to the ground. If not, brackets can be used to fix it.
