I have a 2016 JKU on 35's. The jeep doesn't see any off road, we live at the beach and it's a simple daily to just get around some. It came with a poor mans lift (2.5 spacers and shock extenders). Planning on upgrading the lift down the road but it's not completely in the budget now since I'm buying my 17 year old a new car for graduation.

My question is, can I upgrade just the shocks now, to a shock for a 2.5 lift and get rid of the shock extenders until I am ready to upgrade everything? Is it going to change the height any?

any recommendations for an all around quality shock for the a daily in this situation?
 
Thanks, any suggestions for an all around good shock for this purpose?

Pretty much any quality shock. You're likely to replace them again when you install an actual lift, as opposed to pucks. I'm partial to King shocks, personally.
