I believe Tristins RC setup is a radius set up just like the Clayton setup, all you'd have to do is pull your junk, replace your old X-member with his and trim off your old lower CA brackets (if my memory serves me correctly). I'm planning on copying the Clayton crossmember and then running tube arms (Claytons are square) with Claytons bushings and Currie Johnny joints. At least thats where I am at the moment, Lol! Talk to me tommorow and this might have changed, like Tristin mentioned, Google your *** off.
I want something like this but with the Clayton style X-member.

for what? the front axle already has 4 link mounting points, there should be no need to redo them... 4 link trusses are typically for a rear setup...
Yes it is a radius arm setup like the Clayton one posted back. you will need to search and search and read up on how they work and why one is better then another. then break it down to how much they cost, how much you want to fab ect ect, can't answer all the questions for you when you don't necessarily know what you want..
here are some good reads, read it, then read it, then google questions, read up, then ask if your left in the dark lol
LA builds
xj 4 link
4 link vs 3 link
3 link vs radius arm
how do i build long arms
I just need the flex line its self. 1 or both front and rear lines so they can copy the fittings size and pitch.... I think they are the same from 90-01 XJ's. i need these (stock or not)

Because it puts more leverage on the bracket and tends to induce DW. I would only run one if you need it to fix your draglink/panhard angles. I would weld it as well.
