Then on this page it shows result for "Center link" but then shows trac bars as well as drag link parts.

Napa and Advance Auto parts isn't any different.
Yeah it's kind of confusing.


From the V8 ZJ tie rod upgrade thread ( https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/zj-...upgrade-22717/ ) :

Qty.1 #DS1312 Tie Rod (aka the rod w/TRE)
Qty.1 #DS1238 Drag Link
Qty.2 #ES3096L Short Tie Rod Ends(1 by pitman, 1 by outer driver side)
Qty.2 #ES2079S Adjustment Sleeves

Those are Moog part numbers, you should be able to cross-reference to brand of choice.

As a temporary solution I dropped the TC 7/8" and it cleared it up right away. I do plan on doing a SYE in the future, along with new trans and motor mounts. It is just that I have to work in the driveway and it is winter up here.
I have your same problem and I have a limited access to tools lol

Bumpstop the **** out of it, remove the bumper caps and run your steering stops out - possibly.

You won't be able to turn at all. I hacked off half my fender behind the front tires, and I still had clearance issues after adjusting tire stops

If you like your stock flares that much, you're looking at a 5.5-6.5" lift with severe bumpstopping

Default Adding lifts to lifts!

I put a 3in RC lift on my 2001 xj but it got tboned and the stock leaf spring brackets broke but luckily we found a 3in rubicon leaf spring set and got those. Could I put the leaf spring from the addaleaf RC lift into the rubicon leaf springs? How much would it lift it? The RC came with one leaf for the 3in so adding it to the rubicon set would make 6in?? How big of a coil spacer would I need to even it out?

It won't lift it. The AAL works because it's insanely stiff and forces the other leafs in the pack to match its curve. The RE pack is already arched

Lol You may consider Bushwacker flat flares. They give a clean, almost OEM look, but they offer far more clearance
