Default Jeep XJ front suspension screwed up from deathwobble

OK well i had really bad death wobble and looking from some solutions for some parts that i know i need to replace. Btw i almost flipped in my XJ from the lug studs sheering off except for one or else i'd be dead.

I'm needing a new pitman arm and was wondering since the stock zj pitman arm offers and inch of dropping and was wondering if this would be enough for a 6.5 inch lift.

As for Tie rods im just going to look for a v8 zj tie rod here in my area at the junk yard soon.

The most important thing im looking for is a a trac bar that would be good for up to 6 inches and im looking for the cheapest thing out there untill i can afford to get an adjustable trac bar.

at that lift size you really should have a adjustable track bar at the least longer pitman arn and new stock track bar and track bar relocation bracket but the adjustable is well worth the cash in the long run

The tie rod seems to be in good conditon for me and this is just a good looking mall crawler so ya should be good i think im going to go ahead and get a new adjustable from rough country and new pitman arm from them now just my only thing is they have 2 adjustable track bars and not sure if i need the 130 one with the bracket.
