Default control arms

Hi all cherokee lovers like myself I have a question that I need to know . I was told that I could use 99 ~04 GC control arms on my RC 4.5 lift to move my front end forward so my springs won't hit the bump stops. Is this true and my drive shaft keeps putting a lot of preasure on my front seal.. I want to fix it asap but not to many funds for a constuction worker in the winter..any info would be great so I can fix this b4 spring

WJ LCA's are pretty much bolt-in. Better built, but I do not think they are much longer, if any. They are curved i so tire rub is minimal or non-existant. Drop bracket may help.

No problem!

You can run longer control arms to stretch your wheelbase. It will give you better flex and smoother ride.
