With cut fenders, 2 inches will give you plenty of room for 31s, and you can keep your stock shocks.

Since you have a pre 97 xj you most likel will not need to do anything with the t case at 2 inches of lift. The track bar will work for 2 inches, but the stock one has a weak tie rod end on it, and your axle wot be dead center. I'd get an adjustable double shear track bar. Google double shear teak bar, it will tell you the difference. I'll dig up a picture of where to relocate your brake lines to, give me a minute.

Here's the pic.

Just unbolt the brake line, it's a torx bolt I can't remember what size, carefully straighten the metal line with your hands. Be extremely careful not to kink it. Use a self tapping screw to mount it where you see it in this pic. This setup is good to about 3.5 inches of lift.
where are you from?
