Oh boy! Here we go, Happy Thanksgiving. What did you trim the front fenders with, a honda civic?
 Your rock rails don't look bad at least.

Holy loss of ground clearance Batman! I wonder if the driveshaft will clear the lower mount when the driver side droops out saying the change in the pinion doesnt blow the shaft up first.

You just decreased the trail capabilty of your XJ by the massive decrease in ground clearance. A lot of work for nothing. You'd have been better off with drop brackets.
It is very difficult to design and build a long arm set up for an XJ that really works, and not that many have been able to do it. Many XJ long arm setups are useless. Getting hung up on a rock or berm is what stops you on a trail most often, so a considerable loss of ground clearance in order to get a better ride on the street is senseless. Design it with the mounting points tucked up inside the frame and now you're talking.

 I just laughed so hard I cried.P.S. You might want to leave those LCA mounts there for when you get tired of being laughed at

Yes. Also, since the crossmember is low, the arms are also lower and can get hung up. They don't always slide nicely down the rocks. Modifications should always be to get better performance....not just to do them.
