Default RE: LCAS adjustable or non

You want the axle to be square in the chassis, otherwise it will "dog-track" and look like it's been in an accident (and got a repair job that cut a few corners). There's another thread on this topic - try searching on "thrust angle" for the rest of the tech.

IMO, adjustables are justified by the relo brackets themselves. Tolerances on the car (Ford's tolerances), the brackets (the aftermarket source), and installation (apt to be the sloppiest of the three) mean that you might have to tinker with the length of at least one LCA in order to get the axle square in the chassis.
