The one in your link may have a bit more coverage but unless your gonna be on the rocks a bunch a factory one should work fine. And you should be able to get one at the jy for a lot cheaper than the one in your link.

Well the xj's with the tow package came with them as well as the upcountry package. And you could order them bc my sport has them. So any xj could have them i suppose.
