My lowers need new bushings, Id either buy replacement control arms for $50 with new bushings already installed or for $110 I can get the fixed arms. Would you recommend it? Will it increase the lift any?

Thanks guys, I didnt think they would but thought Id ask because they said this in the item description "If you've stacked any type of coil spacers on top of your lift coils...you may be a candidate for these control arms." For now I think Il order the fixed lowers and eventually get adjustable uppers.
