There are bolt-on and weld-on kits available for LCA's but mostly for long
arm kits.
There are some heavy duty mounting kits available to beef up short arms as
they lighter than 3/16" from factory. If you land hard on a rock, they will
bend.
Frame stiffeners are also available... a rigid link between the LCA frame
mount to the front leaf mount. Designed to prevent or at least reduce twist
but in my opinion, they add stress to the factory parts they are linked to.
Before going this route, you'd want to re-engineer everything else!
Heavy duty steering box brackets and track bar brackets are beneficial in
reducing tear-away from the psuedo-frame.
Lots of add-ons available for XJ's now.
