im thinking a 3 inch drop a 3 inch wide body kit some IFS - IRS and 4 12 inch wide tires might do the trick .. if you look at these xjs they are nothing more than a jacked up station wagon ... think about it ....... i lifted my jeep 8 inches and dumb amounts of ground clearance but that stupid chevy silverado (that is stock) still sits higher than my jeep ...because the body is so tall but the body on a xj is just as big as a car body ... it really can go either way

its not about how tall the body looks because its not how high the roof is that makes it good for wheelin. go buy a chevy and a *** tech lift or drop kit, youll be happy crawlin the mall in that...
or scrape your from on speed bumps

Comparing an XJ to a fullsize pickup is not an apples to apples comparison. Compare it to a Tacoma, S10, or Ranger of similar vintage and its a different ballgame.

^^Now that right there is how it should be done if you are gonna lower an XJ.. Every man for his own, if you were lowering a 4Wheel drive, i could understand being flamed on, but they made 2wd models that i see fit for some slam'age...
An XJ lowered in my mind doesnt look right until i see this.. But you can take basically any make, model vehicle, slam it, tub it and throw a cowl hood on it, and it makes a world of diffrence.
I personally like my lowered vehicles.. heres my DD
And my '79 Malibu Street/Strip

For those of you that think jeeps should only be lifted. If you dont think this jeep is awesome you need to think out side the box.
I have a lowered mustang coupe that i use to drap race and when money permitts i will again. But i also have my lifted jeep that gets wheeled as much as possiable
