I have a two inch lift and I need a pair of rear shocks. Any recommendations on a pair that has a good ride and for towing? Also I don't know how to tell what size shocks I need.

The majority of lifted Libertys are running OME (Old Man Emu) or Bilstein shocks.
I run the OME. If you go with OME, they are the ones that have "L" at the end of the part number. I personally love that they are yellow.

Ironman will work as well as the ones mentioned above. The Ironman and OME are both made for the KK/KJ so no fitment issues

Those are a good shock, problem is they don't make a direct fit for lifted KJs/KKs . Where as the OME and Ironman are. You can use those ( Bilstein) though with a sleeve kit that jeepinbyal sells.
