i'd go shackles in the rear spacers in the front, adjustable trackbar, lower control arms. you will need to stretch out your brakelines or get longer ones. i'm not too sure but i think people use TJ brakelines. i had to get rid of my rear swaybar, because it was getting in the way of all the lines. became a better ride actually without a rear swaybar.

I used a soft jawed vise, and carefully squeezed them flat. You can bend them by hand. I used the vise due to having broken hand and wrist at the time, kinda hard to do 1 handed.

youll also need an Slip Yoke Elminator for anything about 4 inches.. which means new Driveshafts too. unless you don't care about vibrations or aren't going to drive it all the time. It's still better because in Some flex situations the Slip yoke will just just slide right out....

x2 on the SYE. Then just get a front driveshaft from a grand cherokee or cherokee. If you check the dana/spicer site it will tell you all the driveshaft lengths. Just measure then pick. I'm at 6"s and I run a v8 grand cherokee front shaft.

i saw a write up on here of a guy just moving his trac bar back. drilled a new hole back and said it helped out quite a bit and cost a small fraction of a adjustable trac bar. wouldn't that work just as well?

It probably would. From what i understand its the angle of the stock track bar that's the problem. So if you were able to simply drill a new hole and fix the angle that should work. And be a helluva lot cheaper!
