Default 1.75" spacers and shackles... New shocks?

Hello Cherokee heads! Just a quick question... I have 1.75" coil spacers and shackles as part of my long arm / 6" lift kit. I was wondering if I just wanted to put these on for a little budget boost until I'm ready to do the rest, would I need to get new shocks, or could I get away with it? Thanks much

Maybe, I would wait until you get the new suspension set up and see how the shocks behave. You can prolly get away with just relocating them.

If you are going 1.75 above stock height, cheapest shock upgrade are JK take-off shocks.
