Default aftermarket WJ adjustable control arms on an XJ

so within the next few months ill be buying adjustable control arms for the xj. i know stock wj control arms can be used, but has anyone ever used aftermarket adjustable ones on the xj with any success? they cost the same as ones for hte xj, plus they have that lil bend in em which should help with tire clearance (Clarence).

those are the ones im lookin at. the ones for hte xj cost teh same.

Just keep your stock lowers, they are dope, not to mention super heavy duty.

There are plenty of bent style LCA's. Idk why you'd want ones for a wj over xj style? Are they beefier? Also, stock LCA's can get in the way of turning wheel all the way to lock, the tubular style eliminate that and are, unless cheap, def stronger than OEM.

No way dude, the Jeep engineers designed these things to such exact and demanding specifications there should never be a need to upgrade. OEM all the way! Double rainbow!

Sorry, just being a little facetious due to the clear lack of even four nanoseconds of research that resulted in above question.
