What length 5125 Shocks w/ 6.5" lift

I took the following measurments which account for BPE eliminators & the relocated mounts on the rear axle tube. I can add additional bumpstop 1-2" front and 2-3" rear to account for the shock specs

fronts.
Shocks @ bumpstops hit 17.2"
Shocks static 21.1"

rear
travel to bumpstop 5"
shocks static 18.75"



It appears 11" travel for the front would work, but enough droop? should I bumpstop up to run the longer shocks?

Valving: 255/70 Med/HD valving (commonly used in single shock applications)
Travel: 11"
Collapsed: 17"
Extended: 28.01"
Manufacturing
Notes: - Shocks are zinc plated (silver) with a black boot.
- Both upper and lower mounting are tapered eyelet with 5/8" hourglass bushings.
- All applications include 1/2" sleeves.



rears:
8.5" travel??? not sure what the collapsed lenght really is due to the angle

Valving: 255/70 Med/HD valving (commonly used in single shock applications)
Travel: 8.6"
Collapsed: 14.06"
Extended: 22.5"

me?

11" strokes but that doesnt matter since the shock mounting on the XJ is different then the MJ in the rear.

disconnect the shocks and go flex it out. that is the only way you'll know for sure what you need.

ended up with 12" travel up front and running some crappy sykcrapper 8" out back. No complaints so far
