Search. There is plenty of info about this.

Personally soon I am going to do the goferit.com tie rod flip on both sides, then you tie rod ends and DOM for the tie rod and drag link, weld tabs of the tie rod and use a heim joint to connect the steering

Definitely do long arms and get that track bar done. That should help eliminate the death wobble. I would also suggest looking at doing alot of fender cutting to allow you to lower your rig back to around 6" of lift to lower your COG. 8" of lift makes an XJ very top heavy.

Lower it and do drop brackets or longarms. I'm running 5.5 in the front and 6.5 rear with 35's and no rubs. My COG is low and I rely on droop more than compression to allow flex.
