3.75" effective backspacing (5.25 BS oem wheels and 1.5" spacers) - 235/75 tires

The combination of an underpowered engine, crappy AX-5 transmission, and no 4wd kind of make it a dealbreaker for lift/tire upgrades. The components simply can't take the abuse.
I'd use it as a commuter, but as a modified/offroading rig I say find another - one that has the 4.0L engine, a stronger tranny, and 4x4.

I know it's probably been covered somewhere in this thread, but what company makes a great trac-bar (adjustable or fixed) for 3" - 4" of lift. Would like to help cure my death wobble and get my XJ tracking correctly. Web links would be greatly appreciated.

One more question for you Dukie (or anyone): Where can I get polyurethane bushings to replace all the rubber ones on all steering and suspension parts/ends? I want to cure my death wobble once and for all.
