Default XJ shocks

Hiya all.
If I put bar pin eliminators on my XJ, can anyone give me the specs of the shocks I need?
I need to know length, eye width, bolt dia, etc.
I am fitting a 2 inch lift kit and want to source some shocks locally here in the UK.
Are BPE's fitted on the front and rear? So will I need one pair or two?
Cheers guys.

for the front with the bar pins the lenght is 22.75 extended,13.54 collapsed.For the rear its 22.58 extended,13.71 collapsed and you will need 2 sets of BPE

those shock lengths are for up to a 3 inch lift,with the bar pins you could go a bit shorter
