Adjustable make it where you can adjust camber and can be used with different sized lifts, fixed you get what you get.

But there's no actual difference in performance?

Why buy parts twice ? Go adjustable . Adjustable gives you room to grow .

at 4.5" I wouldn't even bother with short arms I'd go Longarm but that is what I would do if it was my Jeep But always Choose Adjustable over fixed

I will indeed do so. And when I get more money, ill definitely upgrade to long arms, but for now, I'm on an extremely tight budget
