ok quick question...I bought a lift for my 2 door cherokee its a 2.5 inch with shackles and coil spacers..my question is, when i put the coil spacers on i have to disconnect the shock to do it..will i need a longer shock for the front or will the stock shock be long enough with the added 2.5 inches?

actually yeah it is pretty bouncy i was thinking it was because the shocks were disconnected but now i know that what i was looking at is the bump stop it may be because my shocks are so old and dead..it is a 87 after all and im pretty sure the guy didnt change much on it
