Default should i switch out my steering setup?

I have a 94 Xj with a 3" lift with the stock steering setup and stock wheels. I was wondering if anyone could help me on whether or not i should switch it out for a HD setup (like the rugged ridges or rustys) or not? and if i should which brand is better to go with? any other ideas welcomed.

i like the rustys stuff.

which steering setup were you looking at? the standard Y shape that comes with the xj, or a YJ style steering?

At that heigt it should be fine but if you want to upgrade I wouldn't recommend the rugged ridge. I ran it for a while and it has a ton of play in it unless you ofset the tie rod ends on the tie rod which makes them wear out pretty fast.
