Certainly not a noob to vehicle work, just my first TJ. I had it up on the lift, wheels on the ramps, should I be able to twist these 2 steering, suspension cross bars? I am able to rotate these bars with relatively little strength, they are mot loose, it takes both hands? the tie rods certainty rotate, they don't lift out of the socket though.

Yes, they should move. That is what the tie rod ends are for. They should have some resistance, not just flop back and forth.
