Default Help identifying A-Arms, Please see pic

I've had my rig for almost a year now and have done tons of work to it since buying it. Anyways, It had these arms on it when I bought it, I have tried to research with no luck. I threw some moogs stock sized bushings at it when I first got it for a quick fix but since they were never right to begin with they are failing and I need to get the correct set of poly's. I even went as far as to call Energy and give the tech guy the measurements with no luck, thanks in advance. BTW the uppers are solid, no adjustment.

Looking at the RC website, their lowers are not bent, only their rears. If these are RC, they have since changed the design. Anyone else? I really need bushings, so any help would be great.

Now this is just my $0.2, and I could be wrong, but could they be from a different Jeep? YJ maybe?

Not long after I first bought my XJ, I had a similar issue...I had lowers that were bent, but not adjustable. I never did find out who made the control arms, I ended up just buying new adjustables. So many small lift companies pop up and disappear or change designs up quickly that you may never find out who made it. Don't make the mistake I made though, and buy RC adjustables, the x-flex joints are garbage, have replaced them twice and they need it again. Good luck, hope you find out who made them...

Anything is possible, I haven't looked in that direction, thanks for the suggestion.

my .02... time to look at a long arm upgrade. your ride must be brutal with those arm angles @ 6" of lift.
