    No, it doesn't. The person is being a wise-ass. I myself don't have the knowledge to help you. Maybe a kind and well-intentioned soul will step up.

    You asked what shocks to accommodate your 2" lift.

    Listed above are shock manufacturers that provide bolt-in solutions to your question. You were answered to an extent because your question left a lot of missing information.

    Maybe you can specify if you meant fronts only, rears only, budget, usage?

    This is a very common question on the forum. You can use the search function and find a bunch of info on suspension options and setups.
    Your budget, goals, and use case will determine what setup is best for you.

    Apparently that too could qualify as being a wise-ass :rofl:

    Really though, this question is asked more than once every single day in this section alone. If one scrolled down a bit, they'd see a fresh thread asking the same thing.

    Since one can't be bothered to spend the time looking that it took to create the thread, I'll entertain the question and offer advice.

    All depends if the OP wants to provide information needed in order to answer said question.

    Not sure what you mean by compensate, but the bilstein 5100 shocks have the ability to adjust them up to 2"
