You need front axle, trans, transfer case, driveshafts, and console from a 4wd. Probably a few other odd and ends as well.

4x4 conversions is no harder than swapping transmissions. If you able to tackle that then you will be fine.
Being a 4 cly, I would recommend buying a 4.0l HO parts vehicle and swapping the entire drivetrain over. 4cly has no power and get the same mpg as the 6cly do This is totally dependent on the condition of your 88 compared to other XJ you can buy

What part of az you from. I have an 90 xj that the body is rusty but 4.0 eingine runs great. it is complete with d30 and d35 bolt in axle 3.55 gears. the tranny took a dump and the guy i was helping fix it bailed on the project so it needs to go. I have seen a few trannys on craigslist. Let me know maybe we can make a deal. I am south of tucson.
