Ok but the shocks would be good to get if you are planning on getting a 3" lift or close to?

Just put a set on my son-in-law's XJ on Thanksgiving. Be prepared to do some work on the bottom end of the front and rear shocks.

Remove the bushings from the bottom of the new rear shocks so they fit over the XJ shock mount.
Remove the bushings from the bottom mount of the new front shocks. Remove the crossbars from the old shocks and press them into the new shocks.

oh it's much, much, much, much worse.....
Using parts of a JK or TJ on your XJ is like giving it a sex change.
You'll be the not-so-proud owner of a Barbie/cheerleader jeep.
