It's really hard to say...stock coils and aftermarket coils are almost the exact same size, they have different compression thresholds.

Basically, this is a huge shot in the dark. I'd be amazed if anyone could answer a question like this.

I can kinda tell you about the shocks. A shock with a compressed length of 13.54" and a extended length of 22.75" are used on 3" lifts. And a 14.82" compressed length and a 24.84" extended length are for 4.5-5" lifts so your looking at a pretty big margin.
(All info according to Skyjacker shocks)

The other's are gonna be pretty hard to tell.

If I were you I would just throw it on my XJ, see what it got me, and then adjust it with new shackles and spacers if need be.
