Default OEM wrangler parts to upgrade XJ?

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that you can upgrade your cherokee's suspension, springs, etc. with oem parts from Wranglers, instead of buying after market parts. Since they too like to upgrade their rig. OEM parts are up for grab and good for XJ owners. It could give me the lift I need etc. Can someone explain to me what I can or cannot use?

Found the thread. AWESOME!

I remember reading the article in a 4by magazine. Can't remember the name of the magazine. And I swear it said I can use more parts.

Front end parts from a TJ will work, but they are the same parts and the coils will actually sit an inch or so lower.

'95 Front brake lines. Swap side to side. Longer and cheaper.

Well, YJ front brake lines, not just 95. With the stock hard line relocated and the YJ hard line part bent correctly. Good up to about 5" depending on setup.

I'm splitting hairs
With my 2" spacer lift, bending the hardlines wasn't enough, had to use the YJ lines.
