For the rear you will need a brake hose from a 96 4x4 Dodge Dakota, it's 6in longer then the XJ. I'm still running my stock trac bar for 2 years with no problems and same for the LCA and UCA's. Front lines are also stock with no problems. SYE is not needed on HP axles. You may need a TC drop though. I now have after market LCAs but still stock UCA. The longer LCA's made it ride a little better but still were'nt needed. As for tc drop, don't buy or make one til you lift it. If you get vibes then buy the tc drop and all will be good again. I've wheeled this exact same set up for 2 years with no worries at all. Might I also add that I wheel mine very hard and still good!

They should but I don't know how much lift you would get. They are two different trucks and it has to be the 4x4 S-10 to get 4.5in from it. Can't vouch for how much lift wwith Ranger springs.
