I got the ones for a 4 inch lift.

The numbers came out great but it took 2fpower and I almost 3 hours to install them. Let me see if I have a pic

I wonder what the advantages or disadvantages of using the plate vs bushings would be ?
Bushings only get you ~3* of correction. And have seen several of them busted up here on 'mud. Good OEM bushings and plates IMHO hold up better.
 
Scrowley, are you speaking from experience? I need caster correction and about to get some Man A Fre drop brackets.
I read some people said they had clearance issues and some say it's not a problem, has anyone here gotten hung up by the man a fre drop brackets?

Yes, from experience. I mangled one in the first couple months of wheeling. Might as well attach a land anchor under the rig. PO of my 80 put them on.
 
I had the same issue with my Metaltech sliders and MAn a fre brackets. I was thinking of just cutting the slider and welding them, but I am starting to lean towards removing the drop bracket and going with another route. I have a 2-1/2"-3" lift with Ironman and Old Man Emu springs. What is the best castor correction bracket for that amount of lift?

I got away with slee' blues with 2.5" med lift for awhile. I would go get your caster reading and make a call from there.
