control arms for lift?
well when i got my 3.5'' lift for my cherokee, i basically bought my parts separetely or not in the whole kit, which i now regret, but i didn't get any control arms for the lift. my tires are wearing incredibly bad because the caster of the axle is way off. i was looking at some rubicon adjustible control arms to fix this issue, but i wanted some advice from you forum guys as you have alot more experience at this stuff than i do. i do not have alot of money as most prolly can understand. any advice will help
here was the pair i was looking to get

The consequence of 3.5 inch lift up, you must replace the lower control arm with a longer or use drop arm kit. If that money is limited, why not take another way by cutting the fender so that it can use a larger tire without having to lift up? Just my concern...

Ironman 4x4 fab. Search it and check out his lower adjustables. I have them on mine and they are straight up strong. He also does fixed arms which are cheaper, just get him your measurements and Andy will hook you up. Great guy to deal with and amazing products. Also a forum vendor so you get a discount

http://www.rocky-road.com/xjcontrol.html has great lower control arms, but I also found http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/XJ_Inventory.html and they look very tough, and reasonably priced. I am currently running the rocky road fixed lowers on mine and love them!

I will be ordering my LCs today, and it will be from one of those two places.
Thank you for those links.

If you got the cash, or can find the cash, go with adjustables. That way if you ever want to go higher, or even go back lower, you don't have to replace control arms again. Also allows you to adjust your caster by moving the lower or uppers in or out (for instance if your lift settles out to be lower). Fixed will not allow you to adjust it.

He recommended this after I told him mine was mostly road and highway driven. I highly recommend giving him a call.
My control arms and track bar are on their way.
