Not sure how much $ you have to work with but if I was doing a go fast setup id go with a long arm kit front with F.O.A. coilovers and deavers in the rear with a decent smooth body shock like fox or bilstein then run a sye on the t case and swap axles depending on what axles you have. ( I skimed thru the post on my phone real quick so I might have missed what axles you have)

like said you are best off piecing something together.
as for shock choice, I now run some FOA 2.0 remote resivoirs. (pretty on par with a 7100) valved similar to the bilstein 360/80 and it didnt take me long to find the limits of them. They are amazing for crawling and getting to and from the rocks quickly though.

Don't drop the case, just get an SYE. Do it right. The back is 12" or 10" without cutting. The one thin ive been warned about with 12" travel is possible binding of the DS .
The rear is sane idea as front, different shock mounts.
I think all you listed and are planning will help a lot. What's your current set-up?

their limit is still over what most people can dish out. Foas are pretty popular in koh and ultra 4 cars. Can't beat them for the price

no you dont need to drop the t-case with an SYE.
and a good set of shocks will get you closer to go-fast stuff. i have Bilstein 5150s up front and 5100s out back and can hit trails at a good rate of speed.

$2000Full Traction 6" long arm performance suspension lift
$450 Bilstein 7100's w/ 12" travel up front
$450 Bilstein 7100's w 10" travel in the rear

$1200
Twisted stitch Suspension limit straps
Upgraded radiator, trans cooler, and thermostat housing

^^^ the fulltraction kit does come with the track bar. List looks pretty good, I don't know if you planned to but I would get the bilstein 7100 short bodies.

Any progress on this build? I'm starting a very similar project. I'd like to know how it ended up taking the whoops. I go to Silver Lake Sand Dunes and on holiday weekends the sand gets pretty beat up. My truck bounces like crazy so I'm hoping to build the XJ to somewhat keep up with the side by sides cruising through there
