BJ spacers, cruiser coils, stock shocks?

Im itching to install my ball joint spacers and cruiser coils on my 95 runner and want to know if i can run my stock shocks for the time being. I dont want to install everything just to find out the stock shocks are to short for road use. I wont be wheeling for a while and will be able to get new shocks before i head off road, just wondering if stock shocks will suffice for on road use untill I have the money for new shocks.

Thanks guys and gals.

You'll be fine. I ran stock length shocks on my 86 when I did the lift and still have stock length shocks on the 89 4runner, same lift both times.

You'll be fine. Your travel will be limited by your shocks but if your not wheeling that's no big deal.

for the time being, it'll be fine, but having your stock length shocks on means they're going to wear awful quick, and may bust on you offroad if you go to full droop, but for normal road driving as a band-aid type deal until you can afford a new set of correct-length shocks beats no shocks at all with two sticks! I say go for it!
