The front would be, but you end up with a low-pinion axle (XJ are high-pinion up until 2000) with outer ends that are D30-based.

In the rear of course, you'd need to cut off the coil buckets and trackbar mount to add new leaf spring mounts.

IIRC the the front uses D3o knuckles. and its low pinion. a good high pinion D30 will be just as strong and give youmore locker and gear options. it uses a specific gear to go as high as 4.88's.

i forgot all about the rear coils.
the reason i'm asking is it already has 4.11's and lockers(which i'd have to figure out how to hook up). i'm planning on swapping to bigger axles anyway, was going to go custom from either currie or DTS(they are right around the corner from me).
i'm used to big trucks this is my first midsize or smaller. i like to make them stout before i even think about any hardcore wheeling. plus, right now it's my one and only daily driver so it has to be dependable.
