Qick Shock Question
I couldn't find a good link but would I be ok with shocks that are 14.5" collapsed 23" extended for a 4"-4.5" lift? I don't want to have limited flexing because my shocks have bad travel...

Well right now I have a combined lift of rustys and superlift parts that net a little over 4" in the back and almost 4" in the front (I will be getting some used 4.5" springs later that should even me out) and I want to use jk rubicon shocks. I found the specs for the rubicon shocks^^ but I couldn't find what shock sizes should be for a 4"-4.5" lift, which is what I'm asking. And I don't really have time to unbolt them and go flex on a ramp and measure so I was hoping someone would just know off the top of their head. Thanks.

mine are 14 collapsed and 24 extended. they are out of a 2010 chevy 2500 Z71. seem to work fine with a 3" rear lift. and would be fine with a 4.5" which is what i got them for (planning on tossing in shackles)
