If I already have LCA's that came with the RE 3.5" kit, would I still need longer ones to go 4.5"???
 
Hey, good question ... I'm wondering the same thing.
I'm considering going with the drop brackets to bring the control arm geometry back to stock.
 
Nope.....use the arms you have.

I have RE fixed arms at 4.5 with no issues. The kit comes wth them. I will be putting on RE drop brackets this week and it seems that the fixed arms will work. I'll post up (if I remember) after I get an alignment to let you know if I'll have to get adj arms.
 
My 96 XJ has a Rusty's lift kit that came on my 89 XJ when I bought it. The rear lift was 4.5 and the front was 3.5 and I hated the nose down look. Last weekend I replaced the lower control arms with fixed RE arms, put in one inch spacers and an adjustable track bar.

It looks and drives good now.
