Upper and Lower control arm question

I have fixed control arms on my jeep now and i was looking to maybe upgrade to the adjustable ones. My question is "is it actually worth it to go with adjustable control arms?"Oh and I'm up 4.5 inches

No you can get a long arm upgrade for the same price...

A long arm upgrade will run you a few hundred dollars more then adjustable control arms. Worth the extra money if you can afford it, but they're definitely not the same price.

Yea, definitely not the same price, but well worth the money. Do it once, do it right the first time. Adjustable control arms will add some strength over the stock ones as well as being able to position your tires properly in the wheel well. A long arm setup will do this as well as majorly better your ride and onroad handling and increase your offroad capability.
