Will I need shock extensions?

[97Exploder5.0]

I have the Rancho 5000 series shocks, normal length, front and back. I'm working on lifting the truck, and I didn't think to get the extended shocks. I've got the Warrior shackles, add a leaf and leaf springs re arched for the back. The torsion bar will be cranked up front. On top of that I have a 2 inch body lift to install. With 4 inches of lift I'm worried about if the length of the shock absorber will be long enough.

I've read about shock absorber extensions to compensate. Has anyone ever used these, and do you recommend them? I don't know how I feel about these, I haven't read much about them. My truck will be mostly a daily driver with the occasional trail here and there.

Yes! the stock shocks only travel max of 2.5" and you need something in between for smoother ride, its better if you can get a longer shock abs or you can just buy a extension....
which I did in my Xplorer...
