build a shock hoop through the floor.....worked for me...lol
really the same for the front. extend the shock mounts into the engine bay....both will make it easy enough to fit 14" travel shocks, and in reality thats about more travel than most XJ's will ever need

then i wouldnt angle them more than 25-30 degrees inward. that should still give you some nice travel and still ride well on the street. but keep them staggered like the factory (one in front and one behind the axle)
and id mount them slightly inboard from where the factory had them

I mounted mine up higher on the axle and put them at a 30* or so and have them coming together in the rear. Im dreaming of shock hoops through the floor and engine bay...
