Default XJ mid arm kits

I have spent a ton of time "googling" XJ mid arms and going down rabbit holes that dead end.
My lift is going to end up around 3.5", I want my control arms some what level for on road ride.
My options are Drop brackets or Mid arm.
I have found threads on mid arm kits,, but they never materialize, or appear to be discontinued.
I even looked at "long arm",, but don't think that's going to work with 3.5" lift.
Looking for weld on brackets, the XJ is stripped to the uni-body and we are already doing a ton of welding on it.

Any suggestions?

When I bought my long arms from cav fab they said they had someone with 3" lift running their 3 link. Could give them a shout and ask about it.

Your best bet is to buy Stinky Fab Racing's 4 link brackets and make your own arms. That's probably what I'll end up doing honestly. Ruffstuff sells a DOM 3 link kit you can buy and cut to size then weld in your own bungs.
