I have an 1986 jeep cherokee that sits 1" Taller all the way around than what is should. From the center of the wheel to the bottom of the front fender flare is about 18.4" and the back is about 19 plus inches.

Should have what is called the "Off-Highway Package." Does it have skids and tow hooks?

The only skid that I have is the plastic one on my fuel tank. I don't have any tow hooks. I have the tow reciever lol. I will check for a rear sway in a couple days though.

havent done much with Country, Pioneer, Chief, 60th Anniv., Freedom, Classic or any of the others
Not necessarily true. I have an SE with power everything, CC... Any model can have any option included or excluded depending on what the customer ordered. Dont know why you would want this, but you could have ordered a Limited because you like leather, and excluded all the power options, or vise versa.

My 86 is a pioneer with a 2.8 V-6 and its a P.O.S. until I can find a good inexpensive donor engine for it, though the four wheel works real good

What is the factory height from the center of the wheel? I'm still trying to determine if mine is a offroad style. the only power i have is steering and brakes lol

I known with the grand Cherokee you can get a free tow hitch at jeep cuz of a recall due to not enough fuel tank protection. May be the same for xj. Check it out
