They're from WJs, not ZJs. I've got a set in the garage that I can measure center to center later for you if you want, but I've read that they're exactly the same as stock XJ control arms. I don't know about Skyjacker's, so maybe someone could chime in on that.

Sounds good let me know for the lenght. all i need is about 1/4 longer so that the castor angel is better. thx Jay

All you need is 1/4" longer? Put a spacer behind the mounting plate in the lower control arm pocket:

I came up with 15 13/16" center to center. If all you want is a 1/4," Yucca-Man's idea is much, much simpler. It obviously doesn't have the bend to allow for wider tires, but simplicity and ease of installation are hard to beat.
