I thought there were stock mounts for those on the more recent XJ's. Mine's a '90 so I'm no help there. Custom 4x4 makes a bracket that should work if you don't have anything stock:

There are others out there though, do a search of the forum, I'm sure it's been discussed before.

I have the stock bumper and tow hook bracket WITH 2 tow hooks for sale. Mine are off a 95. If you want, I can take a picture of it and send it to your email to see if they will work (I can't post them here).

Unless you are willing to trim your fenders, no amount of lift (well I guess 10" or so would work) will let you run 33's without rubbing. The stock XJ's fender line is too small for 33's.
