Default Rancho RS5000 help

hope you guys can explain an issue im having with ordering some new shocks for a 2001 JGC with L6 4.0..
I want to go with the rancho RS5000 shock for both front and back, the issue I am having is there is two options for the front

RS5128 = Front 0 lift/drop front shock
RS5239 = Front 2” lift/drop front shock
My question is, My JGC does not have any kind of a lift, will the one with the 2" (RS5239) fit my jeep and give it 2" in the front. It is a 4wd and does sit nice the way it is, I have seen others that sit a little low, I dont want to order the RS5128 and have it sitting lower than it does now.
can someone explain.
Thanks

Shocks do NOT support weight, so the 2" shocks will not lift the front end 2 inches, they're just 2 inches longer for lifted vehicles. The other shocks you list will not effect ride height.
