Lift ID Assistance
So went to the local JY for bit and pieces and could not resist what I hope will get me on the right lift track. Took a brand new set of shocks, nearly new bright red coils and lower control arms off a 89 Model Comanche 4X4.
The control arms are SkyJacker 16" center to center which look to be the same length of the factory LCA on my 97' Cherokee Sport 4X4. The zert ports are still open on these and the poly bushing seem to be in pretty good shape.
The coils seem to be in great shape as well and stand 19" tall
The shocks look like they were just installed. I can't seem to find any information on them anywhere. The have the numbers 738012 and Q10381 on them and are marked Made in Mexico. Are these possibly a set of the "red Rubicon shocks". I've seen posts of them previously but got no hits when I search all over the site and the web
The other shocks are SkyJackers as well. They look like they have some use in them and won't fit my Cherokee. Might offer them up separately if I can use everything else. They happen to be H7051S units. I've got to clean up the boots. The poly bushing are pretty worn but I hate to throw stuff away.
Also scored some greaseable sway bar poly bushing as well.
My desire with my DD Cherokee is a 3" lift. Nothing earth shattering, just a decent lift for the limited off-road, trail, camping that I occasionally leave the road to enjoy.
Does this sound like a workable start?
The shocks really have me stumped. I think everything else is perfect for my intentions.
All assistance appreciated!

The red ones do look like JK Rubicon front shocks.
The Skyjackers may fit if you install the metal bar for the upper mounts & the bottom slides on the stud at the axle.
The LCA's being 16 in. from eye to eye is for a 3 in. lift.
