For anyone with a 4 inch lift what's the length of your shocks fully compressed and fully extended look at different shocks that would work with the 4 inch lift I'm about to order and wanted to see if I could find other Billstein shock that aren't yellow and blue kinda ugly in my opinion

Are you getting the jba lift? If so front is custom coilovers. I think he keeps their specs pretty hidden. The rear is bilstein(5100s or 7100s) and I think you can opt for fox now but I'm not sure. Either way, if you get the 5100s(or 7100s for that matter), they're the silver ones.

For the rear I'm assuming... http://jeepinbyal.com/jeep-liberty-2008-2012-kk/rear-shocks-and-coil-springs/ironman-rear-long-shocks.html

The Ironman 4" shocks should work

Yes the Ironman work great for a 4 inch lift, Marlin had those made up specifically for that size lift

I have the standard length Ironman on the rear right now (they are hardly longer than stock) and now with adding the extra isos I'll be buying the 4" ones. I haven't worried about it because I have stock length swaybar links but I'll be installing extended links this weekend so I know I'm gonna need the longer shocks
