Looks like this. This is the eBay kit but Currie or Ballistic would be better. I'll be upgrading to full custom kit in a few months. I have a Grand Cherokee but Cherokee will be the same style. Steering stabilizer should be on the drag link but my track bar is set up for high steer...

Tested out my setup on some local trails this weekend, held together great. Would be perfect for your smaller lift.

as mentioned crossover steering is when the tie rod connects to each knuckle, then the drag link attaches to the knuckle rather than the tie rod.

like this:

Close enough. Most Cherokees have baby lifts compared to mine anyway.
