Default Adjustable arms, yes or no?

I'm pretty set on getting Rusty's 3.25" lift. I've ran it on previous Jeeps and I was impressed, especially for the price. That being said... The kit has adj trackbars, coils and shocks. I'll also be adding a steering stabilizer. I want to get adjustable arms, but I'm not sure which. Let me rephrase, I plan on getting Rusty's arms as well.. but I don't know if I want the full 8 adjustable... or just the lowers. I've even thought of leaving the uppers stock until time/money permit. Any help on this would be great, thanks in advance.

All you really need are adjustable front uppers and lowers so that you can dial in your caster. If and when you get an aftermarket rear drive shaft, you will need to get adjustable rear uppers to set your pinion angle.

If you were going to either get uppers or lowers, go with uppers.
I have not gotten the lowers yet, and the uppers adjusted my caster pretty damn close. Take a look at this thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ht=upper+lower

I was under the impression that the 4drs are fine at this level. I can see where it would help, but I didn't know of any necessity. Will the pinion angle be fine without the rear arms?

Thank you so much. I searched, but apparently not good enough. I will be getting the front control arms. Thanks to both of you for your quick responses.
