What tires and kind of wheeling do you do? We need to know so we can tell what you should need.

60s are full width can range from 65-79 inches WMS to WMS dodge's are the narrowest chevys are pass side drop and fords are the most common. i'd do a 60 front 9in rear out of a 70 era F250 or 350 if you can find one. the front axle is going to run you anywhere from 200-600 depending on condition

Rockwells weigh a **** ton. You would have to reinforce the whole unibody. I think its overkill for an xj.
