Alright I've got my 94 ZJ and was looking at the rustys 3.5" kit. (picture below) I was curious if I could run stock control arms being it's my DD and my XJ is my wheeling rig. This ZJ will see some light trails but mainly mud.. Would I be ok to get this kit, an adjustable track bar and be good to drive?

Thanks, Justin.

Stock arms will work, but they're pretty weak and flimsy.

well I have one extra set of adjustable lowers.. Maybe I should get another pair so all the lowers are adjustable and leave uppers stock? What do you think?

WJ uppers are a lot stronger and pretty inexpensive at rockauto. WJ lowers at better than the ZJ lowers too.

Some slight modifications will be needed, but nothing major. The upper arm mounts on the body need to be clearances a bit at the top, the the lower bushing sleeves may need to be cut down a little. Test fit before cutting the sleeves. On an XJ the bushing sleeves are about 6mm narrower than the WJ, not sure about the ZJ width of the sleeves.
