It is possible, but not recommended. Won't be a comfortable ride and won't perform as well offroad.

You can. But would need adjustable control arms and drop brackets to make it ride right. At that point it might cost about the same as a long arm kit.

Better for dunes from what I hear. Something about hitting brush. Don't know where you live, but reverse rake is generally frowned on with Jeeps.

A raked stance is when the rear sits higher, like most pickups. When you throw cargo in, it sits level instead of sagging. Reverse rake is the opposite, and on an XJ, it just looks like your leaf springs are shot.

I have a 3'' zone lift but I am wanting a little more. What are my options without having to do an SYE.
