MJ shackle will only net you about a .5" lift.
Every lift manufacturer out there makes lift shackles for the boost you need. I believe the RE ones are like 75 for a pair and are 1.5" shackles.
As for tailpipe interference, I think most shackles will interfere, just cut a couple inches off the tailpipe, won't hurt anything and solves all the interference problems.

You can also use a Chevy P/U drop shackle. On Pick ups, the shackle is upside down, so it works as a lift shacke when turned over for your XJ. You can find these on Ebay for like $25.00.

look for full size, but I think the s-10s are the same, just not sure. I think the shackles are around 7 inches long, which should net you about 1 1/2 inches.

they are Chevy 88-98 2" drop shackles.
I know that O'reilly's has then for 50 bucks. But if you do a a search for "Chevy 88-98 2" drop shackles" in google you should be able to find them for around 30 bucks.
FWIW.. I have Tera shackles and got around 1.75".
best price and a true XJ shackle is the summitoffroad.com 1.5" for 72 bucks. almost identical to the tera..

I have a set of these Chevy drop shackles for sale if you want them. I used them on my XJ for about 2 years. Comes with poly bushings that are still in great shape. Rides really nice. 25.00 shipped. I can e-mail you a pic if you want.
