The XJ in those pictures is no way on 8" of lift and I'll beg to wager that with 8" of lift, it would have been anywhere near as stable.
As far as ratios/tire size goes, I'm not arguing there, if you've got a setup you like go for it, but it may not be the setup I'd run. 4.56s would get you closer to the stock ratio with those 35s and AX15.
The only thing I was saying before was that 7"+ lift in really ridiculous and not needed. A little trimming and bumpstops on 4.5-5" is plenty for 35s. That is the last time I say that.
To each his own... Happy Jeepin'.
For the record, I never called it a pavement pounder. That is too low of a blow. :laugh:
