Last December I upgraded the steering and suspension on my XJ. It had a Rough Country 4" lift on it when I bought it and I upgrade to IRO long arms. At the same time I installed a hydroassist steering system that I got from a guy that had wrecked his XJ. With the new steering system we had to cut off the sway bar brackets. I've been driving the jeep without the sway bars but would like to use them again since there is quite a bit of body roll. I have been looking at the different backets but not sure which ones will work with my set-up. I looked at stinkyfab and ruffstuff but from the pictures I couldn't tell if they would hit/interfere with the tie rod or drag link. Clayton offroad has a bracket that welds to the knuckle which looks like it would work but it's quite expensive. I'll try to post pictures of my set-up and links to the brackets.

You are going to have to do some fabrication. The lower brackets on the axle have been cut off. I am guessing he did that when he upgraded the steering
You can see the stock bracket coming up to meet the sway-bar disconnect in this image - you'll have to fabricate one that works with your steering - perhaps, a trip to a junk yard to get the stock fabrication and start working on it with more metal to grab for your fabrication. With a 4 " lift you may wish to up-grade to a Grand Cherokee sway bar as well
