My axle in my 98xj is just not working for me, when I turn the wheel to the right the tie rod rubs the steering shock, I just put a 4.5 RC kit on it and everything in the front is new what can I do to fix this.

I can't really see from that picture you posted but, I'm betting that your drag link or tierod is bent. I started my lift with a Rusty's 4.5 inch kit and never had your rubbing problem. Give the draglink and tierod a good close inspection.

I am sitting at the same height and had the same problem. I lowered the mount and extended the sway bar link.
