Whatever you read about seats is not complete, or you didn't read to the end.

 

The seats themselves are the same. The lower seat frames, which includes the part that bolts to the floor, is completely different for the XJ and for the MJ, and they do not interchange. In addition, most early-year XJ buckets (2-door and 4-door) have the "rocking chair" frames that allow the lower seat cushion angle to be adjusted as well as the angle of the seat back. The rocking chair mechanism adds extra height, and if those seats are mounted on MJ seat pedestals and put into an MJ, the seats will be much higher than stock seats.
