Bolt on will be the zj v8 tie rod ends they are bigger then the xjs but bolt right on.Next step up is something like this http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...de-Reamer-Reqd To use that you need to drill out the knuckles and pitman arm with a reamer so the 1 ton gm tie rod ends fit the jeep.If you can't do it most off road shops can and some garages.

I have a 4 1/2" lift with 35" tires, 4.56 gears both locked and I run the V-8 ZJ setup a direct bolt on and much heavier duty than stock. I just didn't want to have to drill everything out for the 1 ton stuff until a last resort.
