Default Stock Height Aftermarket Control Arms

Im looking to keep my Cherokee at basically a 1" lift but would like to add upgraded control arms that will have better flex. Does anyone know who makes a stock setup aftermarket control arm?

Most control arms, if they are adjustable, will start at stock lengths.
I have Rock Krawler arms.

My Rubicon Express adjustable lowers start at a bit shorter than stock length.

Did you notice a better or worse ride on the blacktop when you upgraded the upper and lower arms?

My stock bushings were way worn out when they were replaced, so better for me. Aftermarket arms won't make an ounce of difference in terms of ride quality on a 1" lift if your bushings are in good shape.
Edit: I just actually read the original post, my RE superflex arms feel tight and work very well, though with the metal-metal joint at one end I would imagine small bumps and road imperfections would be a little more noticeable.
