Adjustable is always better IMO, but you don't "need" them. What control arms are you running?

I'm going from a 3 1/2" lift to a 4 1/2" and along with that am doing a lot of upgrade's adj. lowers for one, I bought mine from Rustys Off Road very heavy duty. Don't know about the joints/bushings you never know with them but they are easy to replace.

Get uppers to. I put lowers on my Cherokee with 4.5" rubicon express coils and my castor went to crap. It was a high pinion d30. Now my low pinion on my 2000 is worse with fixed lowers at 4.5" and both Cherokees the front shaft hummed while driving because of castor issues

Ask yourself this: "Why WOULDN'T you get adjustables?"
