What would be the best/least expensive pair of LCAs to match these UCLs?

http://www.rocky-road.com/xjcontrol.html

I have the adjustable pair of UCLs from RR. Their fixed lowers are only for up to a 5" lift and their adjustable lowers are for up to a 7" lift.
My jeep is nearly an 8 inch lift.

they don't need to match - just find some adjustables that are long enough.

At 8" you really should be investing in some drop brackets or long arms though...

x2 on the long arms. Drop brackets would be good but long arms would be best.

Default Questions???
Im looking into doing a lift on my 1993 xj. im new to the game and really am looking for something fairly cheap. ive seen some decent kits on ebay and i am wondering why does the transfer case need to be dropped? i am actually getting ready to take my transfer case off and fix it. Should i wait to get the spacers??

Once your xj reaches a certain hight, it can develop driveline vibrations. Dropping the tcase 1" can help prevent that. But its not a fix! Only a bandaid. Its not hard to install so you can do it anytime.
