New to these Cherokee things
Yeah it's pretty crazy how much sway bar disconnects go for considering what they are, I currently dont run a front sway bar because I have fairly stiff coils and good shocks, also not sure if you know this already but you probably won't need an over the axle track bar kit unless you plan on running the steering OTK, which isn't really worth the effort IMO since you only gain like 2 or 3 inches of clearance, you'll still want an adjustable track bar however
I would recommend you look for a set of axles out of an XJ with a Auto tranny before you upgrade to larger tires. For less than $300 you will improve your gearing quit a bit. With the 5 spd. tranny your XJ will be ******* it around town (and on the trail). Make sure the rear is a Chrysler 8.25. My 5 spd had a Danna 35

I actually did not know that, and I am unsure of the benefits/effects of UTK or OTK. I just know that B.Lees steering crossover kit alone is $220+ and then an adjustable track bar is around $200, so I figured I would keep it all B. Lees products and get the full on kit. However an adjustable track bar and just the UTK High clearance kit will save me some money, so I will look into that again.
Interesting, why woyld it be sold as a kit if it just creates a new problem? I'll look into it some more later when I have time, probably give B. Lee a call as well.
If you go over the knuckles you have to relocate the track bar higher on the axle so it is parallel with the drag link. If it is UTK the stock track bar mounting bracket should allow it to be parallel without changing it
