yep i can confirm that the track bar is a good swap from a zj, and upgraded to one with a greasable fitting on the frame side. Cheap $5 upgrade to a worn out unit.

ZJ front D30's are low pinion.

I run a ZJ 4 wheel disc master cylinder and proportioning valve with a 95 XJ dual diaphram booster to supplement my rear disc brakes. Huge improvement.

Some guys are swapping ZJ and WJ seats to their XJ's as well.

If they are from a V8 Grand yes.

WJ Grands (the style after the ZJ) have boxed front LCAs', and they have a bend in them for tire clearance. The UCAs' are stronger, too.

You can upgrade to 136 amp alternator from a V8 Grand Cherokee

Also if you lift your XJ you can use Wrangler brake hoses front and rear to give you a few extra inches.

I believe it will you must place it in the spot of the AC compressor though and modify a bracket.
