I've been wanting to update my steering but can't really decide what I wanna do. I'm not really wanting to do any modifications so what's a good setup that's not super expensive that I can put right in? I'm would like to find one that I can still use the steering stabilizer I just bought with.

I just did this over the weekend. As stated the info is detailed multiple times through tbe forum. You need a new XJ drag link, a new tie rod end for the drag link to pitman arm (which in theory is still an XJ part). ZJ V8 tie rod and one additional tie rod end. This tie rod end for the ZJ tie rod is the same one that is used on the drag link. Then the adjustment sleeves for that which are the same PN for drag link side and tie rod side. I don't have PN off hand but if you need help i can get back to you.

Zj stuff is not a upgrade or even update.
It will be fresh and new same as any xj replacement steering. If you drive mostly on the street and only sometimes dirt there's absolutely nothing wrong with stock xj stuff.
upgrade when if you actually start running into the need to upgrade
For what it's worth I run 1ton steering bash it in the rocks trees roots and its no longer straight. But is problematic straighter than xj or zj bars could ever dream of being
