Shock size??

I'm planning on running the ball joint spacers and maybe a little torsion bar crank in the front. Should I get 2" longer shocks for the front?

Also in the rear I'm going to run shortside fj80 coils. I should get around 3" or more of lift. Should I get 2-3" longer shocks or 4"??

Also I was looking at the Rancho 9000 shocks because they are running a good deal on them (Buy 3, get 1 free). What are your guys thoughts on these? what would be a better alternative??

Thanks

Install the spacers, measure and buy.

Install the coils, measure and buy.

I have Rancho 5009's in the rear. You will need a longer rear break line, panhard drop bracket.

Up front, with the spacers, I have stock length Bilsteins spaced down 1.5" for the moment. I am considering other options, but a 5145 would be a good starting place as it is stock length. Add extension from there.

I have extended brake lines and panhard drop bracket. I'm all set with everything I need I was just curious if anyone who has a similar set up had any advice.

What exactly do I measure? Thanks for your help.
