Can't say i've ever seen one either. It make sense on a drag car, or something like that, but on an XJ there's no point. It's your Jeep so do what you want, but I don't think it would look right.

Edit: Noticed you said lifting the front higher. The only reason for that, would be if you had an extremely heavy bumper, or something like that, to level it out. Still don't see a point, though.

I don't get it. Why would you want to drive around looking like you have bad leaf springs?

Ive heard it being called a Cali lift around here. It looks badass if done right. Supposed to resemble the trophy trucks/ buggies that sagg like that from their 20" long travel dampener shocks.
