1 ton over the knuckle steering. Change the track bar to an OTK steering set up.
Florida is famous for it's mud and swamps. This most likely tackles them.

In short your Jeep is UNSAFE with its current steering, your just asking for something to break or bend and send yourself into another car(s) or pedestrian(s)
It is also unsafe going with 10" of lift and not wider axles/stance, you are just asking to roll it.
10" of lift = 40-42" tires which = one ton axles
I agree with what many posted here, I would lower the vehicle down myself.
But if you want to keep it that high, then look at one of the many quality OTK "Over The Knuckle" steering setups, and a double sheer track bar for OTK setup.
Anything over 4.5" lift with 33" tires you need to start looking at upgraded steering, anything over 6" lift and 35" tires you need to look at upgrading axles.
Do yourself a favor (and the world driving around you), and FIX IT RIGHT !!!!!

I mean.... I'm just curious where the rocks are in Florida that requires that kind of lift... without rolling over.... And if it's deep mud you're looking for, good luck with those tires hahaha.... Oh wait, this thread is like 5 years old.....

Tall lifts are dumb. You see them a lot in Florida too... makes you think...
(I lived in Florida and wheeled there with people on this forum so I can say that and it's okay lol)

I'd run it. Probly with flat top knuckles with one ton steering over the steering arm. Might drive decent then but would take alot of work and have mis matched wheels

I was bored and planning on replacing headlamps eventually anyway so I experimented with some slight angry eyebrows.
New tires!
Bumper on!
