How do you feel about fixed lower control arms on a ZJ?
I know some consider it a waste, since lift heights change so much, and the arms can't. My feeling is this. I'm at 3.5" now, and I've got some 1" spacers I'd really like to throw in. I don't really even want to attempt 4.5" on stock arms, so I was looking into aftermarket control arms. If I were going to stay at 4.5", for at least a year or two, would there be any disadvantage to using fixed arms to set everything right for 4.5". Rusty's has sets of fixed lowers for something like $140 a pair. So for all 4 lowers I'd be paying less than the price of 2 JKS adjustable lowers. I assume I'd need adjustable uppers though for alignment purposes. Am I right in this thinking? Good idea? Bad idea? Who makes the best fixed arms?
I know the rule of thumb is save up and do it right, but I'd like to save up for long arms, and this would just be an inbetween step, not worth the investment of all new high quality arms, you know what I mean?
