Hello- So i need to fix the steering on my 94 country... i tried to buy parts at advanced but the guy realy didnt know what i needed and neither did i... I know the tierod ends are shot.. boots are cracked and they pop and wiggle... this is my first steering fix so I am learning... I need some help on what all i need... is it 3 tierod ends, 1 longer drag link end, and 1 adjustment sleeve?? should i upgrade to bigger tierod?? I hope some one can elaborate maybe with part numbers and pics... thank yall!!

You'll need the WJ steering knuckles, upper ball joints, calipers, rotors, and pads. You will also need to fab up a track bar mount on the axle so the steering doesn't hit it.

Moog part numbers:

DS1312
ES2079S
You will also need to replace your drag link tre's. Factory parts should do you fine for that.

The es2079s, adjuster sleeve... should i get 2 of those?? One for the ZJ upgrade and one to replace my factory sleeve? Im thinking it would be easier to just buy a new one than try to break loose the old rusted tre's from it... am i making any sense??

Why a new pitman arm? It's a non-wearing part, though the ZJ pitman arm offers about an inch drop verses the stock XJ pitman arm.
