Anyone know of a
sway bar that could work? Not much room to fit one in. Would be great to find one that has a hump for the front diff and bolt it to the u-bolt brackets and have
the sway bar links go straight up to the frame.
I ran a square body sway bar for years. I installed the sway bar bushings on the front of my '57 crossmember and welded bolts to the plates on top of the spring. The bar worked well but end of the RH side of the bar ended up under the RH frame rail which caused the bar to hit the frame on bumps.

I'm currently using a stock Task Force panel truck bar and it works well. But I measured a 95 YJ front bar and I believe that might work as well. reverse the bar mounting so the bushings are mounted under frame rails and the links connect to the axle and you might be good. The picture is from a JK. Same idea.
