Default Sway bar front upgrade?

What year do I get the sway bar from grand cherokee? The jy down the road has a 2000 grand with a good sway bar but not sure if it will work on my 92 Cherokee.

My bar is 23 or 24 mm depends where you check it at. It needs new bushings so I thought I would upgrade it. If I measure the bar where it mounts it is 23mm and where the bar is not worn its 24mm. which bushing should I get if I don't upgrade.

Thanks

It's not a direct bolt-in.
The endlinks are completely different.
AND
I believe -the distance from the body mounting point to the endlink is greater than that of the XJ.

Perhaps a trip back to the j/y armed with a tape measure (and camera) will net more concrete results.

Actually it is a direct bolt in from a ZJ. Check out goblazer's great write up
