I picked up a set of 2 1/2 inch rancho springs (lightly used 1 year) for 60 bucks. Just need some shocks. Any reccomendations? Josh 80 CJ-7.

Bar pins and lowers look the same to me. I'd be glad to measure the compressed and extended length if you want em.

I know my 86' had the longer upper shock mounts but the 80 they are right next to the frame. I am thinking about going with modded shock towers as i anticipate an axle swap in the future. I finally am getting financially secure enough to work on my jeep, instead of just keeping it running so this is a bit exciting. Thanks for the offer though. Josh 80 CJ-7.
