Thanks frank! I'll be ordering some 16" wheels and shocks from you. Possibly the spicers too. Do you think I'd have issues with the track bar?

Shouldn't have any problems with the T/B.

rustys has a kit with everything but its not cheap http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-st...-xj-tj-zj.html you could see if he will sell you just the steering linkage,If not you can get a cut to size and weld up steering kit from a few places.

I did not need to use the WJ ball joints on two sets of knuckles (they fit perfectly with stock XJ ball joints, WJ joints would be hazardous). But another set required the WJ ball joints and there was no way it would work wit XJ joints. The knuckles looked identical but they were reamed differently.
