Default 2" Spacer

If I install 2" spacers on my 2001 XJ will I need to install new shocks specifically for these? Or will the shock I already have on be ok? Thanks guys!

I'd say it depends on the driving you do. If you stay on pavement the entire time and don't go over speed bumps, then it probably is okay. Do you need new shocks? I had an LJ with less than 50k on it and I didn't realize they were shot until I installed a lift. Bar pin eliminators would give you a bit more room for not that much money.

Should you, yes. Do you have to? No
