get a 5 inch spension lift.

xj's are a unibody so there's isn't a seperate body to lift away from the chassis.

If it's just for show, you can fit some 2" lift blocks/2" shackles on the rear and 2" spacers on the front. Problem is that it will screw up your prop angles and you'll need either an SYE (lots of money) or a T/C drop kit.
Not worth doing for proper off-roading. Blocks and spacers just don't flex very well compared to doing it properly with springs.

There's a place for replacement/lift shackles and SMALL blocks but not to gain a large part of the lift. Suspension is so important for offroading it's worth spending a bit of cash on.

P.S. Tim - I like to sig, JF makes me laugh so much I hurt!
