96 xj first time jeep owner
So as a first time jeep owner im not super familiar with everything, im a basic back yard mechanic and do my own work unless its ac or electronics. But with my jeep i know i need to replace all my ball joints and tie rods. With that i was wanting to know what ball joints everyone uses. Also im trying to decide weather to go with the RT Off-Road Heavy Duty Steering Kit or the 1 ton utk JCR kit so need help deciding which one to go with and whats best for highway driving and being a weekend rock/mud warrior. (96 jeep xj classic 4.0 6.5 inch rc lift 35x12.5r15 automatic)

Cool. Welcome to the forum. You'll get a lot of responses. Check out the Pabst Boys Roadhouse on YouTube if you get a chance. Wrenching plus humor.
