yes and no, they are not universal, may different springs, different rates, dimentions, thicknesses, widths, etc.. there is some interchangability but most of that will require sime level is work beyong just bolting in a spring. for your XJ, Crown sells a HD spring that nets a little over an inch of lift, the springs are dirt cheap.

call Jeff @ crown, they generally do not sell direct to the public, they only do it through their retail store in Canton, due to contractual obligations they can not sell outside of MA and they can not list prices on the net or something along those lines. let Jeff know you heard of him from us, he will take care of you.

My experience with used xj springs is they are all worn out, cracked, sagging, you get the point. Give jeff from crown a call. Super nice guy to deal with
