Many XJ owners says that a XJ it's better than a KJ because of this:
Aside both lifted the same wheel anyway, it's unfair to compare 2 modified vehicles (should be both standard) and even more if the preparation level of them it's so different...
But that being said, what is the point (aside of the "awesomness") of long articulation if you have locked axles?...
If you have open diffs and lift a wheel (prone to happen in a IFS vehicle), you lose traction in the front axle and your 4x4 is transformed into a RWD... if your rear axle doesn't have enough traction, you are toasted...
If you have open diffs, but you have a loooong suspension travel (for example, in a lifted SFA vehicle), you can get away of the very same obstacle, because you never lift a wheel, so you never lose traction in any axle...
But if you have locked diffs, what does it matter?! If you have 1 wheel with traction, you still will be able to move...
