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
