Default Shock help

I checked the stickies and did a search and didn't find answers.

08 JKU with a TF level spacer kit, 33s and RR wheels. Want to upgrade stock shocks (133,000km on Jeep)

Want to leave myself open to new coils down the road so I have on my list Bills 24-146708 front (lift height 1.5 to 3") and Bills 24-146715 rear lift hight 2"

My rear spacer lift is 1" so I exceed by 1" in the rear is this a concern? Should I also install a bump stop to make up the 1"?

My upgrade path from here is either TF coil level with some spacers to get the height I want. As most 2.5" coil lift give you closer to 3" with OEM bumpers.

I've also looked at the Rancho 9000xl and their 7000mt shocks. On their web site if I select 2" and 1"or 2"and 2" the same part number comes up for both...leads me to think if I went with these I'd be ok.

Is nitro charged better then monotube?

Realize ride is subjective...open to advice/suggestions I'm a DD on the highway 98% of the time so comfort is important. Thanks
