Currently I have a 2 inch suspension lift from add a leafs and coils with stock length shocks. These shocks are pretty much shot and makes the ride very hard and stiff. Is it possible to use shocks that are 4 inchs longer then stock? Are there pros and cons to this?

i might do an inch or 2 longer, but 4" longer and you might blow the shock at full extension either up or down

Best thing to do is measure what you need and take the numbers into the parts store. They'll have a book with all the dimensions of all the part numbers. Or you can go to gorancho.com and find it ourself and crossreference the rancho numbers.
