Default help! shock length vs lift height

So I just ordered the 4 inch rc x series lift. I ordered it with 4 door springs (i have a 2 door) so im expecting to net 4.5 to 5 in. I've already bought fox remote reservoir shocks for 2.5-4in there roughly 27 inches extended about 10.5in of travel, I can get the exact specs when I get home will this be enough?

Everyone has their own preference but Id rather have my shocks a lil shorter than longer. I'm sure they will work fine but you can contact RC and see what length of shock they would recommend. Regardless who makes them the length would be the same. Unless another member has experienced this contacting RC is prolly your best bet.

Thanks I called and they said they run 26s so it should be ok since they only expect a half inch with the 4 door springs
