Yes you can use the front springs in the rear and they will give you a 2" lift meaning you only need to buy +2" front springs

If you lift (rotates the axle) the rear suspension it puts the rear lower shock bolts pointing down (diff up), so then the bush is always under pressure, the shock mount rotates the bust 90 degrees to take the strain out of the lower bush.

By bottom bushes you mean the rear shock bottom bushes, right? I've already replaced them to avoid adding washers to fill up the extra space with the new repositioners:
