Default control arm woes

does anyone know cheapest strong way to fix control arm brackets on front axle of 1996 cherokee?should the control arms be slightly larger if it has a 2 1/2 or 3 inch procomp suspension.after fixing the metal work and brackets on axle somehow is it the way to go with reasonably priced heim joints and threaded pipe or steel. i have spare stock control arms wich is what is on thier but cheesy metal,tires rub, and i dont plan on wheelin it. the front lower control arm bracket snapped right off of axle, literally out of the blue with no abuse.

any help or knowledge would be awesome and appreciated. thanks,cj

you can simply just get a replacement from somewhere like rusty's, rubicon express, rugged ridge or the like and have a shop grind your axle and weld the new mount on.
