After a trip to the yard in this 12 degree weather I feel like a complete idiot. I was under the impression that all XJ's came with a smaller front sway bar than their V8 ZJ sisters. My and I went to pick up a few odds and ends this morning. Grabbed an OEM CD deck, some roof rack bars, a front DS, and the front V8 ZJ sway bar with bushings. Thankfully the bar was only $22 or so.
Well, I went to install it this afternoon. After laying it on the ground underneath the stock one I thought, well damn, these look suspiciously like the same size. Grabbed the calipers and sure enough, they're both 28mm. :doh:
Moral of the story, NOT every XJ has the tiny tim sway bar. Some apparently come from the factory with the upgraded 28mm. Mine is a '99 Classic, no tow package. If you plan on upgrading make sure you stock bar is of the smaller flavor.
