Default JK Shocks?

Just looking for some opinions, i read a bunch of posts for the red rubicon jk shocks, and i am piecing together a 2.5" lift and need a decent set of shocks at a good price. A guy is selling a set brand new and they came off a 4 door jk but do you guys think they will be too stiff on my xj since they were on the 4 door wrangler?

No. Done it twice. Rode better than the Ranchos that were on previously. Be prepared to change bushings/attachments on the JK shocks. It's self explanatory.

I am also running these shocks, they do ride quite nicely. I definitely recommend them, you can get a set for under 100 bucks usually. My lift is about 4" and they definitely limit my articulation, but I don't do anything needing a lot of flex so I don't mind.

I dont think they will fit up to 4.5" quite as well but you could always try them. Not sure how long they are measured but check this link out
