Default 06 LJ Suspension in XJ

I have a chance to get a real cheap 06 LJ Rubicon Express suspension.
I have looked at RE's website and it looks like the front UCAs and LCAs are the same as Tj arms and the 2nd gen discos will work also.
I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this or has tried it....
Thanks

The front suspension should be about the same between TJ/LJ and XJ. The rear suspension is no where near the same

Front suspension is identical. You will just have to find some rear springs
