The problem with doing the shackle on the back of the spring in the front of an XJ is getting the leaf angle right. Unless you drop the spring down really far in the front (or get the shackle height really high in the rear), the spring will be tilted back and it'll brake dive like a mofo.
Really high-arched leaf springs require a ton of movement at the shackle to flex at all, so keep in mind you'll need a really long shackle to get any sort of flex out of it.
