Shouldnt be any diffrent. U want as much toe out as possible BUT STILL in spec to reduce the chance of death wobble. Off the top of my head it is around .2+ for Total toe, 6+ degrees caster and -.5 to +.2 on the camber.

Also I should say, Camber is not adj on a xj or any other solid axle vehical without adj ball joints. If camber is out BAD u have a bent knuckle or axle tube. Caster is only factory adj. on grand cherokees, the only way it is adj. on xj's is if u have aftermarket lca

Can't give you settings in degress. BUT stock specs except for the toe will be incorrect for a lifted rig. Too much toe out or in can contribute to Death Wobble, which is CAUSED by wear first and incorrect steering and suspension GEOMETRY. Toe should be 0"-1/8" IN, variation is due to Transfer case options 0" IN for the 242 and 1/16"-1/8" IN for the 231. caster is adjustable on a stock XJ, by the use of shims in the LCA body mount 10mm max or adjustable control arms, But with a lifted 4X4 XJ you have to compromise proper caster vs proper pinion angle. Camber is not adjustable without the use of adjustable or degree balljoints.
