Old XJ vs Newer XJ. Are the lift parts interchangable? 85 to 99?

I have a 85 XJ in my back yard that has a 2" lift (Think its 2",cant remember) Can anyone tell me if the lift parts are interchangable? Sure would save me a few bucks if I decide to raise up the 99.

depends on if you are changin the leaf springs bc you will need different U bolts for them but spacers and shackles should be fine
You should get new u-bolts any way. The spring shops sell them cheap. Everything else should work.
 
the lift parts will work.

On the subject of u-bolts, make sure you get the right width. I think the D35 (3"?) is slightly larger than the 8.25 (2.5" or 2.75"?).
