steering swap from grand cherokee will it work

i wanted to swap my cherokee steering to something better i like the look of the grand cherokee steering the one im refering to has a passenger side knuckle that has different mounting points for the draglink and the tierod.i like the setup cuz it has a wheel to wheel tierod,and it lessens the steering angle.i know there will be bump steer unless i move the track bar up,but will it work,or is there better options for my dana 30?

A ZJ v8 Tie rod is much beefier than an XJ one, and is a straight bolt in. If you can find one from a junkyard with the one non-replaceable end still intact you can replace the other end if need be and are good to go!
