Sure it would work...But you are trowing a lot of money at a simple fix....
1. TJ fender flairs ( Trim)
2. Body lift/Bump stops
3. Flat Fender
You will be opening a huge can o worms with a spring over... You may have already done that with 35sHead nut at Outdoorlogic

Like Jimmy said, stay away from spring over unless you're willing to spend the time and $ to do it right. At this point, you'll have to sell your springs, weld new spring mounts on top of your axles, extend your brake lines and come up with a way to control axle wrap.
There is a easier fix for your clearance problem. It depends on what you want your CJ to look like, but if your willing to run TJ flares and do some sheet metal cutting, you can have plenty of room for 35's.
This is my CJ7 on 37's.

On my 83', I am running 35" tires. I have 4" suspension lift and 1" body lift. I trimmed the back of the rear fender, because that is where I was rubbing. I will slightly rub the fronts on the inside fender if at full crank, and stuffed. I do not have bumpstops. I do not have rear shocks (for now).

It may be your shocks for down travel or your bump stops for up travel.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
