Default lower control arm skid plates

Has anyone tried using the rough country 792 lower control arm weld on skid plates? They say that they are for a wrangler. Zone makes a similar product, but with an access hole for grease fittings. I was going to try and put them on a 98 xj.

Doesn't look like they will fit correctly.
Use these instead; http://jksmfg.com/i-9056868-fab-cher...-miniskid.html

Do you have stock arms? You can't use the JKS miniskids with them due to the bushing size. But I also say the JKS ones are great, just put them on yesterday and they're 1/4" thick.

Zone's say that they are designed to work with oem and aftermarket arms.

It still has the factory arms on it for now. I was looking at getting the rough country 4.5" lift kit and frame stiffeners. As soon as I can get enough for all of the other stuff that is not included. Thanks for the help.
