I bought my 98 XJ with this lift installed. The PO had no idea who makes it. The control arm pivots are mounted lower than stock and the control arms swivel.
Help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Looks to me like Rubicon Express control arm drop brackets and a set of JKS upper and lower control arms. Can't help with anything else based on this picture besides also having extended steel-braided brake lines.

Thanks for the reply, unidentifiedbomb

After a little more research, it looks like the CAs may be Teraflex.
The drop brackets don't look like what RE currently offers.

Here's a shot of the UCA mount on the drop bracket.

The drop brackets look like Rocky Road Outfitters. Teraflex does not make them for the XJ.
JKS used to have pivoting arms like that.

Looks like the RRO drop brackets for sure!

Another vote for Rocky Road being the source of the drops.

No idea about the arms themselves. Are those grease fittings on the arms?

Yep. Those are grease fittings. And the PO installed one lower with the grease fitting pointing down. Will change that soon.

The shafts of the arm rotate, that is what the fittings are for. Supposed to aid articulation and prevent joints from binding. But unless there is a rubber connection inside the arms, that movement will be undamped.
