Your can also replace the tie rod with a beefier ZJ tie rod for a bit more money. It was a direct bolt in on my 99 XJ.
I believe you need a DS1312 rod, an ES3096L end, and an ES2079S link to do the replacement for about $95.
Third this, I got mine on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000C5400E/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1 go to that link and scroll down to frequently bought together and it's everything you need

Yep, the only part that's different between the XJ & ZJ is the long tie rod on the passenger side. The ZJ tie rod upgrade only changes that one part.
The ZJ part # for the Moog replacement is DS1312.
Everything else is the same on the XJ & ZJ.
Just did mine over the weekend! Amazing upgrade for so little money and effort. This really should have been OEM on the TJ. Hardest part of the job was pulling out the cotter pin on the wheel side!
For anyone that wants to do this upgrade:

Moog ES3096L Tie Rod End
Moog ES2079S Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve
Get yourself some rustoleum (I went with flat black enamel) and put a few coats on it. While installing, know that the little end is reverse threaded.
sorry links are in .ca because that's where I ordered them, but you'll have the right part number.

here's the thickness difference between both to give you an idea: http://www.stu-offroad.com/steering/zjtie/tie-1.jpg
If you are looking to replace the drag link, I would highly suggest upgrading everything down there to the V8 Grand Cherokee set. It is a solid setup, whereas the TJ's are just tubes. Here are the following amazon links to completely replace them:
Moog ES2079S Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve
Moog ES3096L Tie Rod End
Moog DS1312 Tie Rod End
Moog DS1310 Tie Rod End
It may seem like a bit of money at the moment, but these parts are actually cheaper than buying the TJ version of the same parts! The V8 is not in high demand, and as such the prices are lower compared to the much more popular TJ parts.
