hope i put this in the right spot

ok as it states my brain is full of too much stuff and choices and i thought this forum would be my best bet other then one other you guys seem to know or have done any mod to a xj :)
ok my question is to go high steer or not and what kind ,
since i had to change gears and i had a set of rieds with arms sitting there i thought to see what it would look like , well they stayed on lol was going to sell / not now ,
what i have :
95 xj
6" lift
rear 8.8
front wagy 44
ried knuckles and arms

cost affective witch way should i go and witch is better
full cross over
inverted T
weld in tube adapters or treaded dom
some pics of where im at , what i was thinking if i go cross over is drag link as normal then cross over from under side of arms with offset tie rods due to being so close to springs ,
or should i do drag to arm and leave cross over on lower arm ?

full crossover is best IMHO. you'll get the best steering feel. you'll need to relocate your trackbar after you change your setup.

ok full cross it is :thumbup1: but what would be better just to get kit with all parts and weld in bungs or get the rod drilled and tapped for the tie rod ends ? and spring clearance should i go the way i was thinking under mount cross over with off set tie rods and top mount drag link ? i see a lot of people doing it otk but if i do at lock to lock it will ride on my springs ,in my pics you can see i dont have too much room from steering to springs , what im doing is i bought this rig as is , bad head gasket , put new head on and drove it now as thing break or wear out im replacing with better , stronger and cleaning up loose ends , i blew the amc20 so now i have the 8.8 it has waggy 44 front witch i like just have to fix steering so i had the knuckles so high steer it :) better then whats in it , waggy steering but instead of building a draglink he took the waggy one and welded the stock xj piman tie rod to the waggy draglink , so clean it up and make it better , i have bad death wobble any thing over 50 k , and if i hit any rutts on pavement i get pulled all over the road like im drunk lol and to move the track bar properly it looks like i have to remove my track bar drop then put in a axle track bar relocate ? am i thinking right ? sorry if i sound dumb at this stuff , i am , at why things are done the way they are but i can do the work and do all my own work , im just looking for proper guidance or opinions on the better way it could be done or not that i want to copy what you guys did but maybe because you guys have done it and found what works best , thats why i ask so many questions

thanks so for i have made up my mind on cross over but now the rest lol
