JKS drop brackets or non adjustable lower front arms?

The angles do have a lot to do how the jeep handles. The brackets simulate a long arm.

The brackets level the arms which lessen the amount of axle shift during articulation. They don't really simulate a long arm as you will have the same amount of axle shift as stock. A long arm (properly set up) will have less axle shift over the same amount of travel vs a short arm. The brackets mimic a stock short arm set up.
The flatter you have a link the less axle movement you will have, this includes your steering a track bar links as well. Less movement will = a better ride and lessen the chances of tires rubbing while articulating off road.
Adjustable arms or longer fixed arms will do nothing to flatten the links.

So in my particular case, you think the drop brackets would be a better choice? I am not heavy rock crawling. Doing more long distance off road travel. and on road!

depends on how much lift you actually have. If you are running the TF 1.5 performance coil lift I doubt have enough lift to use the brackets. What is your actual lift height at the front and what is your actual caster numbers? Without this information you are not going to get an accurate answer what is best.

Nope, 2" of actual lift in front, I think my caster right now is 3.2.....I have it posted somewhere in here. I will have to search....

My caster as of last "alignment" which was to center my steering wheel was 3.4/3.3. I know that is low considering people are running 5deg and having very nice handling rigs.
