If you want to be able to move the front end back to its factory location you will need uppers and lowers. However, if you put longer uppers on, then you will need to add that number back to the lowers as well to get your caster. So, if you adjust your uppers to .250 longer than stock, then adjust your lowers .500 to .750 longer.

These numbers are just starting points, each Jeep is different, so I would suggest a high quality alignment shop to do the fine tuning.
me too, i'm running rusty's lowers only. They are beefy, and use factory rubber bushings on one end with beefy flex/pivot whatchamecallit joints at the other. I like them cuz the flex joints have the zerk fitting for grease, and they can be tightened down if they start to wear. they are very beefy and will leave a HUGE knot on your head if you install them yourself on the garage floor with no vehicle lift and happen to drop one and it hits you in the face. haha... been there done that... anyway, i think they were like 200 bucks and i'm happy with them. anywho, good luck
