Default yet another lift question

I'mswapping the 4.5" rough country lift out of my 90 Cherokee into my 93 2 door, but I'm putting two inch spacers in the front and probably blocks in the back till i get my shackles. what i was wondering is if my shocks will be long enough? and anything else i might need.

If you're adding 2" to a 4.5" kit that came with shocks for 4.5" then the answer should be somewhat obvious, yes you will need longer shocks. Well, that is if you wheel it. If it's a street queen that won't see any articulation then don't worry about it.

hey hey no need to be rude about it...I'm new see how many posts i have it was a question...i have no idea if the shocks are good for a 4.5" or a 8" new to the Cherokee. well of course i wheel it why put a lift in if your not going to get it dirty? just thought the shocks might have that much travel in them and come on if it was obvious or i knew better i wouldn't have asked...thanks guys guess new shocks it is.
