just a suggestion, but backspacing is often missing from everyone's setup and it's pretty important for replicating a particular look, and knowing whether or not rubbing will occur.
Here's mine:
3" RC full leaf
31x10.5 on stock 15x7 steelies w/ 5.25bs, rub lcas at full lock
(soon to be 15x7 black d window style wheels with more backspacing - 4" or 3.75" - haven't decided yet)

Bought my XJ about a month ago, since then I have been planning my build. So far it has been painted Rescue Green (was white), new wheels and tires have been purchased, and it is being dropped of today for a RC series II lift with spring pack. I cannot wait to see the results.
