    Unless you are looking for the ultimate articulation, std length shocks will usually cope with a 2" lift suspension on most vehicles.

    I have stock length shocks with a 2inch lift and the rears top out on steep downhills with a light load. It gives you a start but really seems to so no damage.
    You have to be careful of closed length of longer shocks to make sure they don't bottom out or you may need longer bumpstops, and you need about 25mm of bumpstop compression in the calculation.

    Have you got factory shocks to start with? I brought my D2 with Pedders already fitted with factory springs. I called them to find out the compressed and extended lengths before fitting Dobinson 2" lift springs.

    Turns out the Pedders shocks had better open and closed lengths than many other shocks i was considering.

    Food for thought.
