Default Identify these LCA's!

When I bought my Craigslist header, the guy noticed I still had stock LCA's. He just handed over these to me free of charge, as no one had expressed any interest in them and he just wanted them out of his shop. I don't know who makes them. They don't look like any of the normal kit LCA's I've seen, but I assume they're better than the stock ones. Right?



If they measure out for my 3" lift, I'll put them in. I just wanted to know if anyone had any information on them. They're not the adjustable ones I've wanted to get, but the price was right!

He DID mention a name brand when he handed them over (could've been Rancho or Rough Country or something). There's a number, "130058", stamped onto both of them A Google search revealed nothing.

I need to buy a tape measure! I think they need to be 16-1/8 center to center for my 3" lift.

those things look home made to me. that number might have been the number for the metal sheets the arms were made out of.

Rancho...sounds pretty definitive to me! It's not a real popular style. Didn't see one pic of it in Google Images. Anyone know the pros & cons of the square design?

I'm going to throw these bad boys on. They were free and I just measured them at 16"-16 1/8"...'round about what I needed. I was going to save up for adjustables if & when I want to go taller. But now, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Thanks to everyone for your input!
