Default Steering Conversion OTK or not?

I've got a 92 XJ with 6" lift running 33x12.50. I've got horrible death wobble speed induced at 35 mph. Upon inspection of my front end about all of the bushings are shot. I have an after market trac-bar and steering stabilizer. Should I switch to a new steering conversion or should I just replace all of the bushings and stock tie-rod ends? This jeep is my DD and I need to run my sway bar while on road. My ball joints and everything else are still tight. I was looking at the iron rock over the knuckle conversion or one from rusty's. Any input would be appreciated. I am at a loss as to which way I should go. Is any one running the IROR OTK conversion? What else is out there that is worthwhile?

Default took the leap today OTK it is

Well today I ordered a Heavy duty over the knuckle steering conversion from iron rock...$359 shipped. Hope it solves my problems and works as good as it looks.
