Using JK parts for a TJ lift

I need to do some research on this, but I'm wondering if I can use any of the suspension parts from my JKU Willys suspension parts to lift my TJ. I removed everything from my 2015 Willys, and installed a RockKrawler lift kit. I have factory Rubicon Shocks, front and rear track bars, front and rear springs, and all upper and lower control arms. I'm not sure if the rest of the suspension in the Willys is the same as Rubicon, but I know they run the same shock package. Thanks in advance to anyone that has knowledge about recycling any of my Willys package.

yes you can use the springs and shocks with slight modification. If you get bumps top extensions, which you'd need anyway with any lift, then the JK springs will fit no problems. The rear jk shocks bottom mount have to be ground thinner. There's a metal sleeve in the bushing that you need to shave down a bit but otherwise those bolt right in. The front shocks have to either have the bar pin from tj shocks pressed in or just buy a bar pin eliminator kit for $20. Depending what the ratings are on the jk springs and what motor is in the tj will determine lift. The front you usually need an extra spacer to lift it. Hope this helps!

Nearly all sway bar links should be fairly interchangeable if they are the proper length. Rear Tj links use a through bolt on both ends, unlike the front links that use a through bolt on the bottom and a ball joint setup on top. Other then that, just make sure they are the right length.
