here is a link to a pic i took with the bracket on the radious arm
 













That looks like a James Duff 2.5" or 3.5" RA drop bracket.

If you use that with the corresponding axle drop brackets with a higher lift you will need extended RA and Cut/Turned Axle beams. Otherwise your caster and Camber will be way out of whack.

Edit: Measure how far down that drop bracket is dropping the bolts for the factory RA bracket. Now that I look at it again its possible its dropping them more than 4" which would be for a kit taller than the 2.5/3.5 lift.
 






awd,

Nice pics, and those drop brackets look good. Looks like a soa in the back with some beefier shackles should work fine with a 6" lift up front. Maniak knows his stuff, so I'd go with his advice and check out how much lift those brackets are giving you.

And to me 33's sound perfect for beach and Appalachian running. I'm no expert, but it seems like you've got it planned.
 






alright guys thanks alot for the input, as soon as i get home ill pull out the tape measure and see what my brackets are giving me, thanks
 






the square part of the pic i should you guys is about 3 inches,
 






i would say about 4-5 inches is what the bracket drops the arm down from the frame, about 4 inches
