It looks good on 35's. Do you not like the way it looks or they way it performs on 35's? Are you wanting more of a street-able tire? Auto or manual transmission? Is your rig geared for larger tires (4.56 or 4.88) or are you running stock gearing? I ask because I don't think 33's on stock axles will provide much, if any, mpg gain or performance gain. Although, IMO either the 33 or the 35 inch tires would look good stuffed under your XJ. A little more info would be great, so the jeep peeps here can help point you in the right direction. Nice Xj btw!

Yeah if those are stock you NEED to upgrade your control arms. At least your lowers. And that's a bare minimum. That may help. As well as the poly bushings.
