Sure thing. I have an XD2 with a 40 outer and 24 inner paired with the Jim 11-36 7-speed cassette on my Sam. The gear range is wide and every ring combination is useable. The chain is a 9-speed and the RD a Shimano XTR rapid-rise. Before the XTR, I had the Altus M310 which worked without issue, the XTR came up on the list and I had some extra cash to burn and wanted to try rapid rise, You'll need to find an FD that can handle the jump from the large to the small ring. Also, be careful when shifting down to the smaller ring up front, you can drop the chain and form a nasty pretzel.
