I have 4.5" RE coils and I'm curious if these together would work okay? How would this effect the angles? Anyone running this set up?

Not if you want the wheels properly centered in the well and the right pumpkin angle..

how not? Fixed arms alone can be used for up to 4.5" of lift. The CAD brings the arms forward 1" and down 3".

If you get the correct fixed length arms you will be fine, just got to figure that out before you order them!

This is right off the Rough Country drop bracket installation guide.

So I either need to run stock arms or adjustable arms with drop brackets? Can't use fixed arms at all?

All fixed means its fixed to a length, so if its the right length itll work.

If they're fixed arms that are intended for a lifted rig they will be too long.
