First you need to figure out what you have. Pics would help. You could measure you ride height to determine current lift if any, http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/tech/rideheight/. Then decide how much lift if any you want. XJ's are trail worthy stock, if the trails are not too difficult. So trail worthy depends on what kind of trails you mean. Stock XJ with a locker can wheel circles around one with 3-4" and open diffs on most trails.
