So my question is

I'm planning on going with a 2 inch coil lift in the front, and shackles in the back, and ill be running 31s with that. My question is, will (and I doubt it) the stock shocks be long enough after the coils and shackles? And assuming they don’t, how long/which shocks would be good to run?

I have T-bar crank and shackles, about 2 inches and my stock shocks are fine.

I know he doesn't have torsion bars, but 2 inches is 2 inches with t-bars or coils.

Hmm, yeah. Aren't the xlt shocks different than the edge shocks though? I guess tommorrow I'll have to take them off and see if they stretch to 2 inches longer than they are now.
