Keep the axles "paired" (same shock on each end,) and you should be fine. Ideally, you'll also want to have all four shocks the same age - but if you don't mix old and new on the same axle, you should still be fine.

Yea you will be fine. OME and bilsteins ride comparably well so i doubt you will even notice.

The 2.5" shock is 22" extended and the 4" shock is 24.5", if i remember correctly. If you think the 24.5" is too long then just get the shorter 2.5" shocks and run these 1.5" relocators: http://www.detoursusa.com/xjstm.php Best thing to do is measure and find out what size you need. Flex out your suspension on a hill and then measure the distance from shock mount to shock mount.
