Does anyone know if the adjustable lower control arms that come with a rustys 6.5" xj lift kit arebthe same as a 4.5" lift kit? Or would they work? It says they have 2" of adjustment over stock.

Im looking to get the best 31" m/t for the money and a lift that will clear them without cutting, my current leafsprings are shot so the kit will need new leaf packs. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your wisdom but Ill probably just put some blocks in the rear and spacers up front

How much back spacing did you end up going with, 4.5? Did you have any issues with fender rubbing with the offset rims? I rub right now with 4" of lift 31"s and soft 8 with 4.5" of back spacing.
