when a jeep hits 500k then its time to put the 7.5 and go for it.

As you can see by the responses 200k+ is not even that bad for an XJ. If you can at all afford a full leaf pack that would be yur best bet. Any sag you have on your stock springs as of now will translate into a add a leaf...further more it will very quickly wear that leaf out for a very unfavorable ride. Easiest way to go is to buy a full lift kit it will give you everything you need ....if you are strapped for cash as stated earlier a 3 inch boost can be had for very little money by piecing some things together. Read the go jeep article linked earlier in the thread it is very informative.
