I run Moabs on my 98 XJ and all I had to do was adjust my steering stops out a bit, but that was for 33's.  With stock tires, you may not even have a problem.  That tire size is probably the most you can do on a stock XJ.  Most people have fender flare contact issues when running the Rubicon take-off's (245/75r16) with no lift.  Taking the flares off solves the issue, but that looks like crap.  I refuse to take mine off with 6" of lift and 33's, but I can't wheel it until I either lift it a couple more inches or install some aftermarket flares.

" Some time ago, I added power steering to my 70 AMX, primarily, so my
" wife could park it.
" I got the pump, steering box and all the other parts and pieces from a
" 70 Javelin and the system works well, however, I've never been very
" happy with the "feel" of the steering. It seems over boosted, if that
" is the correct term.
" >From reading the list, I decided to change the pump, and bought a

changing the pump won't do anything for feel if it doesn't change
pressure.  even if it does also change your pressure it will have only
a small effect on feel.  much more important is a torsion bar in the
valve assembly on the steering gear ittself.  thick bar, more feel;
thin bar, less feel.  bars range from 0.165" dia - which is probably
what you have - to 0.210" in police and iroc packages, in mostly
0.010" steps.

see http://www.chevelles.com/techref/shea_1.html and
http://www.chevelles.com/techref/shea_3.html for some ideas and info.
