Or buy 2.5 shocks and not worry about it since the spacers slide into the shock eyes

They are 2.5. Also, these are not new ones. I took them off and had them rebuilt by Wizzo. So I have all the hardware to put them back on.

Correction - I have 2.0 shocks not 2.5.

I was wondering... I coudnt see Kirk putting 2.5s on that rig
Trailabite:
Well, shocks didn't ship last week. I will pick them up over the Christmas weekend. And, the installation will be a little slower as well. I may need to order new springs.
From what I read and have confirmed with the shock guru (Wizzo) is that the bottom springs should be 2" longer than the shock. Currently, both top and bottoms are the same length on all shocks. And, I might as well go through the process of verifying the spring rates.

Not to hijack chucks thread, but yes. You can change rebound and compression valving, oil thickness and volume, and air pressure. I redid my rears recently and there's a post or two on my build thread
