How much lift are you doing? Can't recommend a shock without even basic info. But to your question, YES, MAYBE, YES.....

If you don't go over any bumps stockers will work for a while. Shocks from a JK would be perfect for that. Thers lots of sets available that people takeoff to do lifts. Quadratec has shocks for cheap. Although I don't like them Rancho or Procomp are ussually available at the local parts house.

So if I can just go purchase 4 new JK shocks and they will bolt right in? I won't have to do the BPE or anything.
