Many XJ owners convert to a YJ setup using YJ parts. You can put it on top of the steering arms using tapered inserts from Welcome to GOFERIT Offroad! . Just watch for clearance between the tierod, the swaybar mounts, and the coil perches.
Another option for steering on top of the knuckles is to use the tapered inserts along with the steering linkage from a RHD XJ. The right-hand drive linkage allows you to flip the draglink over and the bend is in the correct location/direction to clear.
If you just want heavy duty, '93-'98 Grand Cherokee steering linkage is bolt-on and heavier.
