I agree with Hoss -- with a kit the bearings should be sized to the crank, but should be checked to be sure. As to the timing chain, you're correct that it has to come off to replace the crank so you might as well put in a new one. The XJ uses all steel gears, so all you really need is the chain -- you shouldn't need new sprockets, so it'll cost you the princely sum of $15 or so. Be sure you replace the front seal, too, but that's probab;y included in the crank shaft kit.
