He's already running 37" tires. It's not going to matter if he has long travel shocks or not. If you look he is running 37's on a 2" lift so there is much more to worry about than a OME long travel shock. It isn't going to matter if he puts them on there now or later it isn't going to hurt anything. Why not go ahead and upgrade now for future purposes instead of him having to buy things again later when he does get set up correctly? Right now with just a little flex he has to be hitting the fenders hard or the bump stops he has put in. So, I really don't see any reason not to go ahead and do them as they really are not going to matter if they are short or long travel at this time. Even a stock shock is not going to fully extend before hitting the fenders or the bump stop he is using.

LOW BLOW!!!!!!!! "Why not go ahead and upgrade now for future purposes instead of him having to buy things again later when he does get set up correctly?" WT @#$% THIS SET UP HAS BEEN WORKING FINE FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF WITH MY TYPE OF WHEELING.

I didn't mean it in the sense you think I was coming across. I am not bashing your Jeep or your setup. What I was trying to state is the LT shocks are fine for you to run.
In a earlier post I read from you that stated you were only doing two shocks right now so I was trying to say go ahead and run them and upgrade to the other set later.
My comments of "If you look he is running 37's on a 2" lift so there is much more to worry about than a OME long travel shock" and "Why not go ahead and upgrade now for future purposes instead of him having to buy things again later when he does get set up correctly?" were before I saw that you had a 2" body lift and I assumed you had more plans for the Jeep to have it correctly set up for 37's. I was just going by your original post information of running a RC 2.5" lift and didn't want you to have to spend more money later on when you could run the shocks now and be fine because you would be hitting the fenders way before the shock could fully expand. I think it would suck to buy the standard shock and then later on have to go buy the long travels. Now that I have read your whole setup completely the long travels make even more sense now than when I thought you were only on 2.5" of lift. I guess I could have worded it differently and paid more attention to your sig.
Sorry if you thought I meant otherwise.
