If you have the lift already in.... then go out and measure your travel: there is no substitute from that. When you measure you can tune the shock height to your suspension instead of guessing at it and then limiting either your uptravel or downtravel with it.
Cause from where I sit your jeep has 2" compression and 4" droop with the static height of 5"

Ditto.

Flex it up and measure......that's the only way to get shock lengths right.

With shocks disconnected, BTW.
