That looks about right. The rear JK red shocks are 3" longer than stock, extended. Take a look at the measurements I posted here, earlier in this thread: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/jk...3/#post3488570
Each time I recommend the JK shocks I suggest bumpstops should be checked.

I got my rears installed. Added 3/4" I used 3/8 x 1" grade 8 bolts, worked great ! Bought hex washer bolts, heavy washers, lock washers and flange nuts. They tightened right up ! I thought that the holes left from knocking out the broken bolts and weld nuts was too large for the 5/16 bolts ? The jeep rides awesome now !!! No BPEs

Just got my red rubicons on. With a 2 inch lift, the front ones are perfect when you slide a hockey puck into the springs. Still trying to get the jeep to flex enough to test the rear ones. It seems like they are going to bottom out immediately but the shock moves less than the axle I think because of the angle. They ride amazingly though!
