It is likely due to the leaf springs on the XJ vs. Coil Springs on the ZJ/WJ/KJ. The leaf-springs on an XJ extend behind and below the fuel tank providing some protection from under-riding vehicles (the weight of the Jeep would be carried by the springs and shackle mounts rather than the fuel tank), the ZJ/WJ/KJ have coil springs so no suspension/frame components extend behind/below the fuel tank and it is the first thing hit by an under-riding vehicle and is subjected to the entire weight of the back of the Jeep.
