The pitman arm off of a ZJ is a one inch drop over stock, and the tie rod from a V8 ZJ is a big strength improvement over the stock XJ piece.

Dana 44 out of a TJ. Cut off the link brackets and weld on shock brackets and spring perches or link the rear. Hemi out of a new Grand.

Oh and the Rubi 241 rock trac t-case. Don't waste your time on the rubi 44 front. It is a low pinion 44 housing with 30 tubes and outers.

Front coils out of a 98 5.9L ZJ will give you 1.75" of lift in the front. Combine this with 1" spacers from Pep's and thats almost 3" for the front. Add the main (cut the eyes off) and secondary leafs from a JY XJ and thats a cheap 3" BB.
