The wheels will bolt right up. Iirc, Ranger wheel backspacing is right at 5". Pretty close to stock XJ wheels. They'll fit but may rub the control arms with 33's. You can adjust the steering stops to prevent that.
Bumpstops. Just extend them until they prevent the wheels from rubbing. You may have to trim the flares a bit either way.

You'll just have to measure for the bumpstops, and maybe do a little trimming. I cut and folded my fenders, and added two hockey pucks in each coil spring for the bumpstops, and I'm running 33's on a 1.5" lift no problem. My tires are on 15x8 wheels with 3.75 backspacing.
