What he said. Also, theres a good chance that another member has the same setup and can offer some suggestions on what works and what doesnt. Mine is stock and uses KYB Excel-G front and rear. Nothing special as its not a trail rig. Have the shocks ever been replaced before? The upper rear shock bolts are known to snap.

Be really careful removing the upper shock bolts. I used a torch to heat them up and only snapped 1 out of 4
If they break, there are tons of tutorials and YouTube videos on fishing a bolt through.
Is your jeep stock? Measuring is always the best, but if 100% stock you could just throw some OEM spec Monroe Sensatrack shocks in and call it good

X2 if you are at stock height with the OE Spectrum Monroe's. Did mine a few years ago. They seem fine. Only snapped 2 out of the 4 upper bolts on the passenger side. But just PB Blasted for a week before. Easy fix.

Iron Rock Offroad bar pin eliminators front and rear when you do replace your shock !!! You will not regret it . Gives you an extra almost inch of flex and really simplifies any future work..
