Running taller shocks PRE-lift

[4x4tographer]

Hi all! Relatively new to a lot of this suspension wizardry.

Currently I'm on a stock Rubicon (4dr) suspension.
I just received in some Fox 2.0 shocks that are rated for a 2-3" lift. (My lift will arrive later this month.)

I was hoping to slap the shocks on and enjoy them for a little while before the lift goes on, but I'm concerned about bottoming out and crushing the shocks since they have a taller collapsed measurement.

I'm essentially losing .79" up front and 1.25" in the rear.

Am I making something out of nothing?

	Front Collapsed	Rear Collapsed
Stock Rubicon	15.96	17.25
Fox 2.0 (2-3" lift)	16.75	18.50
Difference	-0.79	-1.25
