Default using rustys adjustable zj lca's in an xj

hey i found a set of rusty's adjstable lower contro arms for a zj in the junk yard and went ahead and snagged em because they were next to nothing. called rustys and they said the zj lowers are wider at the frame side. my measurements look like the fit between the frame side mounts though, so i was wondering what im missing or will they work?

everything i snagged from the zj

I would think they know their own product, but you never know.

Try putting one on.

ZJ and XJ use the same arms, maybe they thought you said WJ because they are a bit different.

i know the RC zj n xj are identical. i would assume rustys would be as well. but if they said no.. all you can do is try.
