Re: coil spacer lift
They are perfect for more clearance and keep you with the stock ride.
The longer bump stops and shocks are really needed to unhook anti sway
bars and play hard. If you stay hooked up and run easy logging roads,
the shocks might work ok, they do on a friend's with a 1.5" lift, doubt
a 2" would work without bottoming the shocks which is a bad thing.....

Re: coil spacer lift
IMHO, the main purpose of any lift is to be able to run larger tires.
Others may be flex aka articulation. Coil spacers aren't going to give you
any more flex, travel, compliance or however you want to look at it. They
will just pick you up a bit. So, to answer your question, you will need to
change shocks and the whole project is futile without bigger tires.

Re: coil spacer lift
I have an 02 TJ. Installed the Skyjacker 2" spacers with the nitro shocks. I
had to also had to lower the transfer case.
I just found out i have to install the Track bar Relocation bracket, the
rear end is shifted an inch over to the right.
I am happy with the performance on the trials, I just took it out 2 weeks
ago for the first time, I had great articulation on the rocks. Email me
direct, i will send you a nice pic.
When i researched originally, most people told me with the 2" spacers all i
would need is the spacers the bumpstops and the Shocks. Hindsight, i would
spend the few extra bucks and get a kit that comes with everything (springs,
transfer case drop, track bar bracket (or a new adjustable bar). All said
and done think i spent close to $600 for the "economy" 2 inch lift.
Honestly, i dont have any regrets, my first jeep, my first lift.... Live and
learn. ... I also learned, buy an Oil Pan Skid plate.
Hope i Helped,
JOHN
