what level should i be for post game side stuff?

[succ]

im around 55 and all the bosses are destroying my party pretty much instanly, should i just do the main quest till a certain point or should i be grinding?

A friend of mine has told me that endgame should be something like lvl60 and above, but I disagree.

There is a good deal of tools that are available, starting at Act 1... and maybe, by the very end of Act 2 ( which I'm trying to complete slowly at lvl35 ). A great deal of the game is figuring out where each party member excels at the most, and you could potentially cover their weaknesses with better setup ( EC: Resistances gear over stats, agility for the main DPS users, buff setups... etc )

I hope someone helps you out, because I'm no pro at DQXI

Not so much levels per se, but getting gear that resists status effects and reduces elemental damage will ensure victories against the bosses. Most characters will start to get unique gear to them and a lot of them provide a lot of status or elemental protection. Generic gear like robes and rings can be worn by all characters.

It depends on your equipments and how you feel confident going through the "harder" act of the game. Normally recomnend lvl is 50+ minimum but it is possible to do with a lower level. I was underleveled at that point (around 40/45). Its all depends on the equipments, which team you using, how "skilled" you are (meaning if you know each monsters weakness and boss strategies etc), etc.

Keep in mind the difficoulty spike getting higher the faster you reaching the end of the post game. My advice is to not rush to fast as it will overwhelm you very quickly. Do sidequests and crafting if you can (it not neccessary but it can help). Try to level up as high as possible (meaning going lvl 99). Unless you dnt care about the superbosses. The "final" superboss should be lvl 99 for your team but again its possible with a lower lvl but its very difficoult. I was around lvl 80/82 with my team and believe me you dnt want to try it. Unless you know what you are doing and if rng is on your side.
