So i finished the build a while back and the only thing i had to do was move the track bar over, it came with longer control arms, brake lines didnt need extended i just disconnected them from the body and bent them down, havent had a problem yet. so dont get scared when reading this

You meant SWAY bar right?

If you really mean track bar aka panhard, and you're running without one, you're not gonna make it 2 blocks before a lot more than body roll becomes an issue

OP go with full packs in rear. Or build a bastard pack for it.
If you carry alot of weight in back the AAl will sag in short time.
There's writeups on using an S10 Blazer main leaf on top of a stock XJ pack for about the same lift iirc.
Not too hard either.

Here's one but there's better ones if you search
