Think about it.

If you raise your truck 2 inches, you need to get longer shocks....

You can run stock size shocked, but it would greatly limit your travel.

Many will argue that in stock form, the rear shocks limit suspension travel a good 3-4".

I would replace the shocks, if they are new, sell them on Craigslist.
You can buy shocks that are ment for 0-2" of lift on the net.

You can search and get some shock numbers off here, but im too lazy

Im not sure what model # my procomps are, but I could take a peek at the ranchos for my girls 4runner (still sitting in my garage with the bj spacers).
