So I was told from apparently an unreliable resource on here that stock JK control arms fit a lifted cherokee for LCAs. Well I ordered some,
and NOPE! The arms are 22 5/8"s eye to eye. There is no possible way these will go in is there? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

those are NOT the right control arms. the ones that work are the REAR UPPER control arms.

When doing the swap to the upper rear arms do you need to lengthen the drive shafts? I measured my factory arms on my zj the they were 15 5/8" and continuing my budget cobbled together lift lift this seems like a viable option.
