Use the part number I listed on FIBC Tyson, it's a bit long for a 2" lift but should be pretty close for what you want. Or hit up a Lordco and look through their book to get the length you want. Remember to space the 3rd link equal to your lift or you'll have problems.

well, i have been out mesuring at full flex and full droop without the shocks on and i will be able to run these shocks stock.  ;D only have to add a 1/2" spacer to the bump stop.  Full comresion on the stock springs is 14" and the ford shocks are 14" compressed. And they are 24.5" extended and the stock shocks are 18" extended.

I'm going to get about 3" of lift with areostar coils and coil spacers if needed. And a 3" ball joint spacer ofcourse.

YOU MUST GET THE 2WD SHOCKS    4WD's ARE TOO LONG!!

areostar springs fit in zuks? if thats the case i should put a set in the rear of mine.. .will that work? have 1.5 spacers in the front and back, but if i can put those van springs in i'll take the rear spacers out and the bigger coils in.... am i crazy? or will this work... it's a 91 four door
