The springs are fine as are the shackles. but the cold hard truth is that there are almost no circumstances where a lift block is a good idea. xj's are sprungover to begin with and are powered well enough to get spring wrap as it is. add in our propensity to put big tires and then giving your axle two more inches of lever arm to wrap those springs seem like a terrible wat to treat those ome's.

sell the ome's to someone who wants two inches and a comfortable ride. then get the right springs for your needs.
 
Double and triple check your ur bolts,It would suck to spit out a block on the trail
 
reading that again i just relized that the ome springs are up front and you are doing this to stock springs. so cancel my previous advice and go read a few threads on bastard packs.
