Default steering issues on 5.5" lift

i have a 5.5" lift on my 95 xj. will the stock steering links work? right now the passenger side sway bar link barely rubs on the steering link. any ideas?

about 6 weeks ago, but haven't really driven it except for a couple trips through town. the tie rods are crap and need replacing but i was wondering how those angles could be taken care of. the link at the pitman arm is way off and the tie rod link on the passenger side is at a bad angle too. is there any tie rods and center links and stuff that will work on a lifted xj without doing too much modification?
