Strange.... I've never seen an Xj without the holes there. I just went out and checked mine and its aligned just the way yours is.

yeah, I would unbolt it and move the bumper around to find the holes, all cherokees were built (except apparently maybe yours) with the three steering box holes on either rail.
My top steering box bolt didnt quite line up along with another which is normal, they rarely do on something like this due to manufacturing tolerances. my biggest qualm was that the tubes for the prerunner bars didnt just need to be welded, they needed to be angle cut to sit on the bumper and the side bars needed to be notched which is IMO not as advertised. Not everyone who has a welder also has the ability to notch their tubes
