Default 1996 Cherokee: Recommend tubular control arms for stock 4x4 Cherokee please

I have a 1996 Cherokee with 4x4. It has the Dana 30 up front,and everything is stock. I need to replace the front control arm bushings,and I figure I'll just go with some tubular arms while I'm taking it all apart.

I want to know what you recommend as a replacement. I want to keep all the stock dimensions,so I'd HIGHLY prefer to not get adjustable ones,and I'd like to keep the same hardware sizes. I hope this isn't too demanding,so let me know what you think I should go with.

If you want a lift later on adjustable ones will be better to have.

I'm not planning on a lift. This car is daily driver that'd I'd just like to be a little tougher and more reliable for the once-in-a-blue-moon scenario that's rough.

I went looking i don't think they make fixed lower control arms for no lift.But you can use jeep wj lowers which are stronger http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoWJcontrolarms.htm And a tiny bit of cutting you can run the wj uppers http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1018788 a wj is a 99-04 grand cherokee.

Rock Krawler upper and lower short arms will adjust to stock lengths.
