if its cheap i'd buy it....you will get a way better ride, even with just long lowers...i had the teraflex kit that is similar on my last xj and was pretty pleased with it. flexed pretty good.....better than with short arms.

you can always weld a bracket onto the lowers and make new uppers to make them a y-link.
but only if you can get them cheap enough. and if they're adjustable.
if not, you could always make them adjustable, or just stick with what you've got.

It would be a good start. However, long lowers and short uppers will not work all that well. As suggested, the best thing would be to weld a couple of brackets on the long arms and have a Y link, or use it as a foundation for a three or four link set up.
