Only likely option is to replace the spring and control arm bushings. As they wear they can slip, causing a creaking noise. Nothing serious to worry about, but if you want to get rid of the noise, look into new bushings. For sure skip urethane upgrades, they creak from day 1 and only get louder.
My '00 makes a creak/pop noise. It comes from the rear shocks, which are shot. 'Haven't replaced them yet because I have a set of OME springs in the garage to go back there, and want to get longer shocks.
I noticed that mine makes much more noise when it's dirty vs. clean. Like when the XJ is covered in salt from the snowy roads, when it dries, the XJ makes all sorts of strange noises, most of which seem to stem from the leaf springs. Once I spray it down, it quiets right back down. Try keeping it clean.
