Default Need help on proper shocks!!

So I have a 2010 2 door JK Sport Soft top. The stock springs were 13/14 front and 55 rear. I upgraded to 18 front and 59 rear. On top of this I added a 2 inch BB. I think I got about 2.75-3.25 inches of lift. I made the mistake of not measuring before.

Anways!!!! I need help choosing a proper shock. Should I go with a shock for a 2-2.5 inch lift or a shock for 3-4 inch lift?

Also the reason for asking is I may remove the spacer kit and still want the shocks to fit if I do remove it.

Lastly, Im looking for a moderately priced but quality shock.

Thanks!!

depending on the kind of wheeling you do or if you do, i might recommend just installing a set of shock extensions. if you really want new shocks, you should get some designed for a 2"-2.5" budget boost as anything taller would most likely be too long and will bottom out.

I have 18/58's plus 1" spacers in front and a .5" spacers in the rear on my 2 door Sport. I love my +0-2" OME's.
