Default Shocks

Im planning on a 2inch suspension and 2inch body lift and buying some rancho shocks but i didnt know if i needed to get a longer shock or if the normal size will work. I want to get as much flex out of them as possible. When you go on rancho they dont have a lift option for blazers just stock height. if anyone can help me out it'd be appreciated.

Stock length front shocks will be fine for the lift your planning. You will be hitting the bump stops before they're even close to being fully extended/collapsed. The stock rears however are leaving a lot on the table, especially with a lift shackle/AAL. You can run the longer zr2 rear shocks or even a k1500 rear shock to get the most droop travel while flexing. I have no first hand experience running the full size truck rears but i think PJ has them on his 2 door... Im sure hell be in here soon.
