No as the 2WD is lower than the 4x4, the springs I am sure would fit physically, but it will still be lowered if fitting 2WD springs to 4WD and vice versa if fitting 4x4 springs to 2WD.

2wd springs won't have as much "spring" as they don't have to carry the weight of the diff and shafts and extra gubbins so if you fit 2wd ones to your 4wd car it will sit lower and handle wronglier
