That 2" lift has prolly sagged close to stock height, i think youd be fine. You should really get longer shocks, but IMHO unless you're hucking this thing off jumps, its better to be too short than too long. You don't want your shocks to be your bumpstop

If they're too short, it'll corner real good - until the shock breaks.
