Welcome from Michigan!
I would ditch the lift, buy the arms, and preload the fox’s to get your lift so your geometry of the machine stays correct. If u look, your shocks are almost straight up vertical now.
I did, and like u said it rode a brick lol. It was oook on smoother surfaces, but when put it back to normal is when u feel the difference.Did you get to experience your ride before and after the brackets? If so, I'd like to hear your report. I've never driven a Pioneer with a stock suspension.
