Done-ish. Test drive went alright. I was all over the highway, but it was windy and one of my sway link jam nuts got loose. I stopped to tighten it up, and it was smooth sailing after that. Everything that can be torqued is torqued, and I get vibes from 20-35mph. Nothing came loose after driving about 20 miles, so I went back to the shop and packed up, swept the floor, and rolled out.
My track bar is still slightly off, but it's good enough for now.
Something in the rear is making a loud clunk/bang intermittently when I go over a bump, but I'm not sure if it's the rear end or actually something in the back. It's rides straight, and it flexes, so I'm happy right now.
I reused the old tie rod, despite the loose end and the torn boots. After I stripped the hell out of my ZJ tie rod, I didn't have a choice. I didn't take my 'after' measurements yet, so I'll do that after my shower if I remember.
A patron at the shop was asking how tall it's gonna be. I said, "Let's find out" as I put on the last lug nut. It was lowered so the tires were just touching the ground, and I was thinking 'I wish it would just stay this high...' Well, it pretty much did. It's sitting up there nicely, and I don't have any worry about fitting 33s.

I need a new O-Ring for my speedo gear on my transfer case. Dealership is closed and none of the o-Rings at Ace Hardware are the right size.
