Yeah you can run em as long as you adjust your bumpstops to keep em away from the fenders.

You build a tower on the lower coil bucket with hockey pucks or whatever you can find that works.
I use 4 pucks (4") with my 4.5" lift.
For the rear you can extend the upper bumpstop mount down how many inches you need with square tubing or whatever works.
I had it setup like this at first:
Then changed to this:
JKS makes a kit like the picture above and includes spacers to stack to desired height.

You flex it out till the tire is 1" from the fender and then measure the gap between the bumpstop and lower bumpstop plate. The distance plus 1/2" equals how much spacer height needed. I always add 1/2" or 1" to the measurement i get cuz the bumpstop compresses a little.

you could also trim it up a little more and remove the inner fender plastic and bend the crimp seam behind it.
