Was wondering if I should get an over the knuckle or under the knuckle set up on my xj. Itll have a 6.5 inch lift by the time its put on on. Was thinking over the knuckle?

Can you post a link to which one specifically you're referring to?

I'm looking around at steering right now and I am pretty lost right now on what to get. Need something seriously dailyable.

As I stated previously...OTK.
If you're considering a 1 ton kit, at your lift height an under the knuckle kit will have a severe drag link angle. You won't be happy with the way it performs on road or off.
