I have seen it done with KL Trailhawk seats. I did not ask them anything about how much work it was, if they were significantly taller, etc etc.

I have a set of FR-S seats I pulled out of a TJ in the junkyard waiting to go in my XJ. The previous owner had made some very simple brackets to fit them in. The bolt pattern is correct for an XJ but there is some interference with the XJ brackets that wasn't there with the TJ brackets.
