Ok. I bought a 96 xj off of a guy and brought it home. I knew it had issues. My question is, I bought it with a 5.5 inch lift. The steering is weird. It's tuff in spots and hard to turn in others. IDK what to check first in fixing it.

Check power steering pump, steering box, power steering lines. Then check tie rod ends. That's the base of where to start.
