Are you asking if, based on the pics provided, you can shoehorn 35's under the rig as it sits?  Are those 31's on it now?  If the answer to both is yes, then no.  Usually you need at least 6" (probably more) of lift on an XJ for 35's.  HOWEVER, if you trim the fenders and properly bumpstop the suspension, you could run 35's with ~4.5" of lift, which I like to see because the center of gravity stays lower.  Get an XJ high enough in the air and it starts to look and act like a roller skate.  The one thing to keep in mind if you run that big a tire is backspacing of the rims.  Too little and it'll be very hard on the front wheel unibearings.  To much and the tires will rub on turns.

I run 34's on a 30 and chrysler 8.25, no problems. You will need to lift more and probably trim at least to the upper part of your flares. It still may rub on a hard turn, but I don't have a problem getting around.
