Default lift question

ok, so i have 2 small questions. I have the old front coil springs from my 89 cherokee. now i have read that i could use those on the rear of my new grand cherokee to get around 3in of lift. is that true? and if so, can i use the 3 inch pucks for the front to lift it with the stock coils still in place for the front?

Im on a tight budget right now and just want to get between 2-3in of lift until i can afford the 4in rough country kit

Yes you can. You'll need new shocks and to address the front and rear track bars or you axles won't be centered.
