get the adjustable arms now, easier to sell when you go long arm.
but i know many that have wheeled with 3 inch and stock arms for a long time.

I have a 3" lift with stock arms. My bushings are kinda shot, and the ride suffers from that. They were fine until the lift lol.
I recommend adjustable control arms too, just incase. Better to spend 100 extra bucks now then drop a lot more later when you lift it more. Personally I'm going to get Ironman 4x4's adjustable control arms in a bit, since he's having a 10% off sale till xmas.

If you're going to go out and beat on it right away though... get the adj arms.
