Default anyone installed JK lower control arm on a XJ?

has anyone put in a JK jeep lower arms on a XJ with out any mods? i wanted to try using the new JK lower control arms because its steel the shape of arching in so my tires don't rub and i thought i have seen someone put JK arms in a XJ but wanted to make sure it'd fit without any modifications. please let me know anything about it and pictures to show would be great!

Front lca off a jk are to long for on xj. I run rear lca and front uca off a jk on my xj. I did cut and sleeve them with dom to push my axle forward about 1.5". Works great at 3.5" of lift.

so you had to change the length of the control arms but the bushings/ends were bolt-in? Do you know if the coil springs will work to gain any lift? I could buy a complete factory jk suspention with all the control arms springs and shocks for 125 bucks. I will need some components when i lift my mj this winter
