Default Need help on selecting shocks

I have a 2010 2dr rubicon with 2.5" spacer lift. I am looking at replacing my rubicon shocks because I want to have full shocks instead of spacer on my shocks. What size shocks do I need? I am looking at skyjackers because they are on special right now. What should I do

Greetings
I personally run Old Man Emu's on my 2dr Rubi with a 3" lift and have been very pleased with them. They are a soft ride but not too soft to compromise handling on the road and control wheel travel very well. The part number for mine IIRC was NB196 for 3-4" lifts. I think 2-2.5" lifts were n196.

Cheers!

Don't buy Skyjackers. Bilstein 5100's are worth the extra money.
