I know for the stock WJ arms you have to cut something off if your buying new than just get the XJ one so you dont have to modify them from RC the WJ arm isn't gonna be stronger

The WJ arms are bent inwards for tire clearance.

I tried doing it and had width issues with the frame side bushings. Some say to shave the bushings so they fit, but I heard this will compromise its strength. I bought new replacement WJ lower control arms and ended up trashing the idea.

I ended up just buying arms just for th XJ. The WJ arms are a cheap and easy mod. As mentioned and after reading alot about it, the strength gets compromised in the WJ arms after cutting the bushings.
