What should I do? Would a good coolant flush and replacement make things better?

That's Low miles for a 96 my 96 has almost 145000 as for your problem
i would try a flush but really you may need to replace the radiator, mine was doing the same thing but when i would be at a light it would creep near the red line with the fan going..... i noticed i was losing fluid slowly over time........... always would get a wiff of antifreeze when i would walk in front of it, i decided to replace the radiator ($130.00 at partsAmerica) took about an hour to replace and when i was looking over the old one i noticed a section of the fins were so britle that they fell right out... i now run about 200 and thats with the AC running with it off it is under 200... use good antifreeze and all should be well for you and your XJ... hope this helps
