I'm not 100% sure but i belive so may want to ask in the Jeep newbie section
also add a leafs will make your springs stiffer

in some cases, stiffer is better. i'm running 6-leaf yj packs on all four corners. the extra leaves fight wrap, but aren't hurting atriculated flex at all. the ride is a bit better, too.

as for the xj leafs, they will be the right width, but may need to be cut if they are full-length. the arch may be different, too. i guess you'll have to try them to find out.
