Need help picking size aftermarket fox shocks for skyjacker lift.

[MaximusDecimusMeridius]

So I have the skyjacker long travel 4.5in front, 3in rear lift. Here I am considering upgrading the shocks to the fox 2.5 adjustable but i am trying to figure out the best match for my lift. They are sized by the size of your lift but we even the smaller range has a longer collapsed length then the skyjacker shocks. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.

Have you installed the lift yet, and if so, what do think about it? I am looking at the same lift or possibly the next one down (3.5" / 2") and kinda have the same concern with the shocks.

I was thinking about dumping my Mopar lift for the 4.5/3" kit but had the same question.

I installed it last year when I first got my gladiator. There were ~3 kits available at the time so it is the one I went with. I think it is decent for the price. I have been slowly upgrading components (went with a yeti trackbar, now have a fox steering stabilizer). I would like to upgrade the shocks to fox as the steel body ones are starting to rust but am having a hard time figuring out which sizes to go with. If I can't get any input I may just buy the larger end of the size range and change my bump stops if needed.
