Ok so I'm posting this here since its technically a modified question if I'm wrong I apologize. I recently got a good look at my control arms and need all 4(upper and lower both sides) and figured this would be the best place to ask, what is a good aftermarket arm for a stock xj no lift but that will still be acceptable with a 3" lift down the road?

Im not sure if there are any that are adjustable from 0-3 but a stock control arm will work with 3 inches of lift...Not sure how many quality after market arms there are for stock height..

Bone stock WJ lower control arms fit with small modifications and is a huge upgrade.

Stock uppers will work for a 3 inch lift. Lowers are what you need to be concerned about

Edit: Iron Rock Offroad makes an adjustable lower arm that's good 0-6.5"

Iro it is, as a temp to get me through the winter until next spring I'm gonna toss in a set of moog bushings then income tax will be the lift I've been waiting on with new arms and a bunch of other upgrades to make it worth it
