Hey guys I recently got into a bad accident with my 98 xj that was lifted 4.5in. Head on collision to rollover. Anyways the entire front is smashed. Control arms are all snapped and shocks as well. Springs both flew out so they are good. What company could I get a set of upper and lower 4.5 in control arms that won't break the bank? Thanks

Well if youre not concerned about quality rough country has fairly priced fixed arms. Rustys has options as well. You should check your mounts to see if the collision oblonged the bolt holes or bent anything else. Check your upper control arms as well....heck man check everything if your control arms snapped. Front drive shaft, yokes, spring mounts, shocks...good luck man. Sorry about the wreck. I want steel bumpers so bad.

Sounds like control arms are the least of your worries. If you broke aftermarket arms, than the chassis mounts must be thrashed.
If the roof pillars are compromised, integrity of the uni-body is also.

I would start looking for another XJ to build, not one that has been in a head on and rolled.

You guys think I kept that thing? No haha my bad I forgot to mention I got a 2000 white xj last night and I'm swapping over what's left of the lift and need control arms for it. Don't worry it's got a 98 head on it. But I need it lifted and all I really need is control arms I have shocks and springs

I'm not long arming this jeep. I just need some upper and lower CA's that aren't gonna break the bank. I don't have $800 to spend on just control arms.

just go with RC

In that case checkout the iroc uppers and Lowers

IRO is probably your best bet. All adjustable if possible. OTherwise get fixed lowers that are the correct length and adjustable uppers so you can adjust your caster and pinion angle easy.

You say you can't afford a good set...............so I ask you how many times are you planning on buying control arms till you get a good set of Adj. U/LCA's??

SteveMongr

I had to buy a quality pair after six months of running Crown adjustable lowers, the bushings wore out and caused arms to get sloppy.
Rock Krawler arms are three years old and holding up well.

I waited for about 7mo. till I could afford all the parts to increase my lift just an 1 1/2" over what it was, till I could do it right for a short arm. All the Adj. CA's ran just over $900 + shipping. Not what I wanted to spend but the arms I wanted lol.
