Default front end upgrade??

What's up guys, I have a quick question about front end upgrade parts. I have a 98 xj with 4.5 short arm RC lift, and needing to upgrade tie rod tube and track bar to more of a HD setup. I'm wondering which drop brackets, if any, I need, or relocation brackets. As of now its a stock setup, and having problems with ball joints and steering loosening up after a while. I know I need drop pitman arm, any other specific add ons I need or suggestions? Preciate any help.


Also I've been told v6 mustang injectors are a direct fit, any truth in that? Link to any threads of these?


thanks

I think you mean ZJ tie rod.

A v8 ZJ tierod would be a good upgrade for that, and I'd recommend an iron rock offroad adj. track bar with the double shear drop bracket.
