Before I begin I’ve done research but I would like to get some opinions on what route to go... so I recently lifted my xj on 33 on a 4.5 lift but I did not think the lower control arm was going to be so close to hitting the shock mount as my previous xj had more clearance and I’m pretty sure it was same lift height but basically what I want to go about it the cheapest way possible for now or would at least like to ... I was thinking if i can just get away with the curved lower adj control arms or maybe I’ll need both top and bottom and be done ... I would hate to end up buying the arms and if that doesn’t do much than having to get drop brackets for it because at that point I might as well pay for a long arm kit. I would like some opinions on it and keep in mind I don’t want to break the bank on it

 

Stock uppers and adjustable lowers works fine on a 4.5" lift. Any higher than that it's best to get the drop brackets or long arms.

 

Ok thank you

 

These will work. I have them on my 4.5'' lift but when funds are available I'm going with adjustable lowers and drop bracket.

if you go drop brackets, you most likely won't even need adjustable lowers or uppers.

I am @ 4.5" and have stock arms with DBs, and the alignment is fine with no shims

 

Thank you guys, I’m going to go with drop brackets

 

Longer fixed lower arms work fine and are needed for caster issues.
