Default WJ Budget Boost/S-10 Bastard Pack

I have a 2" Rustys budget boost with Rustys shocks on my WJ. Can I use the stock wj springs and 2" spacers to achieve 4" in the front of my 99 XJ?

I'm going for 4" to 4.5" inches front and rear by using terraflex drop shackles in the rear with a full S-10 pack with my main XJ leaf in the rear. My biggest question is will the Rustys shocks that came with the WJ BB be enough for all this lift and will they bolt to my XJ?

I'm not sure if WJ springs will work in an XJ.

What if I use the grand cherokee isolators and a spacer on top? The only issue I'm seeing is that the XJ spring Is a little tighter diameter at the top but a spacers and isolator should allow the wj spring to fit. I got the shocks on easily, I'll try the springs with the slight modifications I'm thinking will allow it to work and I'll let you guys know how it went.
