Shocks for 2" lift

with a 2 inch lift on my 70 gmc, can I run stock shocks? I was thinking that some mid-grade monroe shocks would do the trick, but am not sure. I don't want the shocks to serve as travel limiting devices.

That's it, get an extension? No one knows of brand name shocks that will work?

Re: Shocks for 2" lift

ranchos website has shocks for 0-2" of lift and 2.5" - 4" of lift and so on. I would assume then that you could go with stock, unless your 2" lift actually gave to a little more (happens).
