?ZJ arms instead? Even at Jeep dealer prices could be worth looking at - check this link, I think the control arms for TJ's and XJ's are identical.

I got the price from Kaos 4x4 down here in canberra.Ive got 4.5 inches bit probably 4 with sag. Looking at going up to 6inches.
Were those Rubicon prices of $150USD each, or a pair.
Im not really concerned if they are rubicon or not , so if the ZJ ones are longer and workable i might have a look at them.

I thought the price was a pair but after going to the website that price is each!!! doesn't make much sense when the 3.5 inch kit includes the arms and is $319USD. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but checkout this link.

The ZJ ones are the same length but have more clearance for bigger tyres.
I am at 4.5" but just extended my arms using shims to set my caster back to stock.
Check my site on how to do it.

I thought the ZJ arms and XJ arms were the same length but the ZJ have a bend in the which will help when running wider tyres. Never put the 2 side by side though so I could be wrong on the length thing.

Where did you get the price. I got one from Rubicon as I'm off to the US in a few months and they quoted $150USD for the super-ride arms and $180USD for the super-flex. This are from thier 3.5 inch lift

Cheers
Steve
