Default Skyjacker LCA's or WJ OEM LCA's

Skyjacker factory length non-adjustable for $60.00


or

OEM WJ LCA's for $50.00 which are boxed not stamped.


Setup will be 3" - 3.5" with fenders cut.
33"s on stock rims

Which arms will benefit me more.

The only pros I see to the Skyjackers is that I dont have to grind them down.

I already paid for the WJ LCA's before I ran across these arms today. Should I resell the WJ LCA's and get the Skyjackers or just stick with the WJ LCA's?

Skyjackers are probably stronger but one appears to have a dent in it. If that has not compromised their structural integrity than the non-grinding sounds like you have a winner.

Hmm, let's see: pay for them over the phone, including shipping, wait for them to come in VS. go and get them out of the junkyard if you trash one, 5-6 minutes to trim them down on the bushing to fit in the XJ pocket, and allready clearanced for wide tires ( pre-bent). No contest for me- WJ. Oh, and $20/set down here...

The Skyjackers are local. No shipping.

I will probably stick with the WJ LCA's. I just wanted some opinions.

Poly bushings....bleh. Go with WJ's. Easily aquired if replacement needed and stock rubber bushings ride better.
