Default LCA for clearance options? Rustys or...

Hey all, getting close to purchasing some much needed LCAs. I'm running Canyon wheels (5.5"bs) with 31x10.5, no spacer, on a 3" lift. I like the way the tire stuffs into the uncut fender so I don't want to change that. I've read that any LCA will gain a little more clearance at full steering lock, but not sure how much I need.
Rustys makes some LCAs that have an inward bend, price isn't bad either. http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-su...eels-pair.html
Are there any others, or should I just stick with the Rustys?

Maybe try look into using WJ rear arms as your front LCAs

From what I've seen (unless I was misinformed), the eyes are still the same length. I visably have negative caster, which is another reason I want to change them. I've seen JKU arms used too, but IIRC they were much too long for a 3" lift

Got it. I've looked around but figured I'd ask in case I missed some others.

I looked long and hard and found no others offering a bend like those arms of Rusty's. I ended up getting Metal Cloak arms and changed my build plans a bit but might still need a set for my wife's Cherokee I am hopefully getting her soon. Let us know if you end up getting them I would definitely like to see a report on them.
