Default Best source for longer extension shocks?

In y'alls experience are +2" shocks sufficient for any lifts? My cars got some HD coils lifting it a smidge over 2" at the moment. And same tires as in signature. Stock shocks so it is not a very good ride right now as they reach maximum extension often. Adding an inch or so spacers down the road is not out of the question. So should I go ahead and look for shocks like +3-4"? If so where can they be purchased?

Ive also been working on getting the rest of the car ready. Have extended brake lines ready to install. What about speed sensors? Can I manipulate them enough to allow for another couple inches of extension?

And I have ACE if that plays into this at all.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Who's coil springs, by brand and part number are you running.
You won't be needing any extended shocks till after you clear 3"s nore will you need to replace the ABS wires, just reroute them and you will be fine.
My choice for shocks has always been the OME and now with their new Sport shock, you can't go wrong.
