You have the money for all this including "custom long arms" but you can't sell this death trap and buy a truck?

We can't help you because it's impossible. 11" of lift on short arms..... is a death wish. 6 is max.

And if you start another thread about you question I will remove you from the forum. 1 time is enough to ask. Not the 8 you did

Listen it is going to be tough. Number one is to have a custom track bar and mounts made. Then you will have to go with a different steering box, probably a custom mount also.
You really are opening up a whole can of worms here. And you should talk to someone who has done this extreme of a lift before.

I saw that. I knew because short arms won't drop that far.

But I did miss the long arm part. I facepalmed too soon.

I don't advise this lift without full width axles to increase your lateral stability, but we can try to help keep it as safe as possible if your plans can't be swayed

Honestly no. I will admit that advice for your particular application is beyond my current knowledge. Sorry I can not help you. Maybe someone else can help?

Lol. I like the stock tie rod.
"Brodozer" haha
Same here. 2wd will get it hot but in 4 low the temps are much more acceptable.
Also lol.
At that lift height you need some more serious mods than long arms.
I usually don't get involved with things of this nature.. you seem like a real "bro" looking to build a "brodozer" of a jeep...
If you hate how small it is than buy a full size truck and lift it.. a xj does not have the track width to safely run a lift of that size. Sounds like you have stock steering on the jeep now so you are already beyond being safe.
