Default 4.5" lift control arm bolt spacing

Hello..Hope everyone is well today...Long story short I have a Rustys Off-Road 4.5" lift kit for my Jeep (Not installed) but I have lost the lower control arms..I was at the junkyard today and saw a 98' Cherokee with the front lifted high in the air since someone had taken the whole front axle.. The coil springs and shocks were missing also.. However the lower control arms were there and they look like the ones that were with my 4.5" lift kit (Round and with a curve to them)..I saw another 98' Cherokee there and it didn`t have the round curved control arms so I`m assuming the ones I saw are after market..Can someone with a lift of this size (A Rusty's one would be perfect!) tell me the distance between the bolt holes on their arms?.. I hide them in the junk yard so I can go back and buy them but wanted to check first.

Used to have that lift, but not anymore. You could just buy them, I'm sure they are cheap and if they are wrong sell on CL or ebay and probably make money.

Or, call Rustys and ask them.

Thanks for the reply..I went back and got them just to be on the safe side..Was only $24 for both of them..Also grabbed an intake manifold out of an 00' Cherokee I saw there.
