unfortunately, i don't think most of the shock manufacturers have JK specific shocks made in multiple sizes - yet. you can probably find a set of rancho 9000x or procomps that will fit your application based on measurements but the rest pretty much have set sizes that may not work for you.

thanks for the help. no wonder it was so hard to find a bunch of choices. none of them seemed to be for the jk.

This is what RK recommends:

Front Shock - 19" Collapsed to 31" Extended
Reference MX6007 with Daystar EVS Jounce Stop
Rear Shock - 19" Collapsed to 29" Extended
Reference MX6054 with Daystar EVS Jounce Stop
