Depends on if you have any sort of lift. They both mount the same but the sleeve in the rear lower bushing needs to go.

You will gain nothing by putting stock length TJ shocks on your budget boosted XJ. The TJ shocks actually spec out a fuzz shorter than stock XJ shocks. If you're pinching pennies, find a set of take off JK shocks. Those can be converted for XJ use and is very common for BB lifts.
