The biggest reason to use adjustable arms after a lift kit is to move your axle forward back into the center of the wheel well. As you lift your rig the axle is pulled back toward the rear of the wheel well. So putting adjustable arms upper and lower will move the axle back into it's original position. And as BigGreen did it allowed him to get his caster set the way it should be. Just like regearing your truck once you lift it and install larger tires adding adjustable arms are part of a PROPRER lift kit.

Well wildman I didn't put the control arms on yet money tight here at this time of year
but seems the rough country lift kit had upper and lower arms in the kit. They maybe are a bit longer than stock arms I'm going to hang a string line from the center of the wheel well and see where the wheel is from there
