Default Rear shocks as limiters???

My rear LT shocks cause my swaybar to hit the tire. Yes I have stock wheels and no wheel spacers
Can I just put two inch shorter shocks in? I'm running a 2.5" lift with 285/70/17 tires.

Doesn't a stock jeep use it's rear shocks as limiters already? I mean if the axle drops straight down the limiting factor is the shocks right? It can't be the swaybar because it's not twisting.

Turns out the only way my swaybar hits the tire is if the axle drops straight down and I don't plan on jumping my jeep so I'm going to leave the setup as is.
