Im getting pretty pissed at ups cause im waiting on the part so i can drive mine again and my buddy went without me and now im stuck playing middle man

I paid $20 at pull a part for mine
dont touch the track bar. install the steering and either have it aligned or align it yourself. the stabilizer i have no clue about. have not needed on in 5 or so years. i dont see why it wouldnt though.

Hey cob, let me know how it goes and what you end up with, I have been wanting to do this same mod for a while on my 95 XJ and my 91 MJ but was holding off til I found some one I knew that has done it and could tell me just what years ZJ would fit my years. Offroad, if you could give me an idea what you think what years ZJ might fit my rigs, I would much appreciate your input.
