Default Fixed Control arm opinions

I have a 2.5" teraflex lift with Rancho 9000Xs coming, should be here Thursday. I plan on adding front LCAs and a front track bar pretty soon.

My question is since I don't ever plan on going any higher than the 2.5 inches and don't do any hard wheeling, would I be okay with going with a fixed Control arm versus adjustable? Thinking of going this route because they're pretty low maintenance. I'm considering Synergy or JKS for the control arms by the way. Probably going with a JKS front track bar also

I was running Tera flex sport arms on my rk 2.5" and they did great but recently I switched to the tf alpine adj lca's and they are top notch. Not much more and you can dial them in and they are so easy to adjust and also run the stock style bushings. Definitely check them out. I'll say at 2.5" you will be pretty close to 6* caster if you use the Jks. I am at actual 2.75" up front and my caster is 5 with arms at 23"

Personally I feel the more adjustment you can have the better, not sure what kinda maintenance you are concerned about.

I believe the Superlift front lowers are the same length as the Synergy's possible longer. They also use the same bushings as Synergy and cheaper. Check them out.

I always thought super lift was in the same category as Rough Country, Sky jacker, etc... no offense to either of those companies. I never gave them a thought, but I'll consider them
