30" won't fit without rubbing, but they'll fit with the 1.75" budget boost. Unfortunately XJ's have just about the smallest wheel wells of any jeep.
Best way to mount a winch to an XJ is with an aftermarket bumper. I've seen them mounted behind the stock bumper but to me that's too much trouble.

Would they squeeze under there until I could do the BB if I stayed on pavement? The Budget Boost is only like $99 @ Rusty's and it wouldn't be long!
Bounty, In reference to the driveline vibration issues you mentioned with lifting the newer XJ's, at what size lift does it become neccessary to drop the xfer case?

You should be able to run them temporarily, just be careful when entering a steep driveway or gas station entrance, hit is straight and slow and not at an angle.
You'll need to lower the transfer case .5" with any amount of lift up to about 3" or 3.5". I made my own with a metal bar, about 10"x2"x.5". Cut it into two equal 5" pieces and use the crossmember as a template to drill the holes. Remove the stud on each side that holds the crossmember and install 4 bolts .5" longer than stock. They are metric.
