I'd go along with the others on the MII crossmember and suspension being probably the way to go with this. One more that you might want to look into is the XJ6 crossmember and suspension that a couple of guys here on the board have put under their trucks. It comes out of the Jag as a complete unit and if you shop right the price isn't that bad.

Some guys are also looking at the Ford Crown Victoria front suspension but that is pretty wide and there are real issues with what wheels and tires will fit inside the fenders. There is another thread on here on that.

Unless someone just came up with one I don't think that there is a bolt on MII style crossmember like there is for the AD trucks. That would be the simple way to go and you wouldn't have to worry about pulling the fenders.
It is all drill holes and bolt it on.
