Default Front end rebuild

I tried searching but couldnt find the exact info i need...
looking to rebuild the front end on my 98 xj with 3" rough country lift. (Tie rod ends, ball joints, upper and lower control arms, track bar, sway bar links and bushings, shocks)
I'm probably going to order everything from rockauto, but am having a hard time finding some of the parts such as the tie rod ends, too many different options. And shocks, what are some affordable shocks to work with a 3" lift?
any advice / part #s would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The steering you want zj v8 its a upgrade and bolt on.Shocks most lifts come with cheapo white body shocks those are your best cheap option for shocks.

Thanks for the info. Got everything ordered except the shocks.
Considering some 'Zone Offroad' shocks. Anyone have any experience with these? Better than the Rough Country's?

Bilstien 5100 are an excellent choice and well worth the higher price, you will be happy with them over the others you listed.
