More lift questions..
Got all the parts for the lift today, except the rear springs! Can I go
ahead and install the rear shocks anyway? The lift is only a 2" on my 89 XJ.
Would I be correct in assuming these new shocks are 2" longer? Will
installing them before the lift springs (I drive 40 miles daily) be a
problem? The springs should be installed by Sunday.
Thanks!

Re: More lift questions..
You don't want the shocks to bottom out... could damage them. Did you get
extended bump stops? Best to wait if not.
