Fixed arms and Db's

Yes, I have searched and couldnt find what I was looking for. Right now Im at about 5.5-6" of lift and am looking into getting the RE db's. I currently dont have the money for adj. arms. Im looking for the upsides/ downsides of fixed arms. I wouldnt mind having my axle a little further forward but Im unsure where the lower drop brackets would put me? Any ideas/tips are appreciated!
 
With 4.5"-5" the DB's and STOCK arms will put your angles and Wheelbase pretty much back to stock.
 
I ran drop brackets with RE fixed uppers and lowers for a long time. I still run them with fixed lowers, and just adjustable uppers. I have the uppers adjusted to their absolute shortest length..

You'll be fine.
 
Thanks guys, Where would my axle move with fixed uppers and lowers? I have the RE superflex arms that came with the 4.5 sf kit. Heres a recent pic of my set up after some new parts. Bushwackers, Jcr steering and Hellas.

You can run those arms with drop brackets for as long as you would like. no harm.

Those are the arms the 5.5" drop bracket kit comes with..
