I'm doing a spring under lift on my cruiser. Using 4 inch skyjackers with 2 inch shackle in back and 1.5 inch in front. Does anyone know what size shocks I need?

I better answer your question before people start yelling at you.

Measure pin to pin and see what length you have, then go to IH8MUD.com (http://www.ih8mud.com/tech/shocks/Shock_Specs_2-0.xls) and figure out how what shock length you need.

Some people will tell you to to get a forklift and see the measure measurement between compressed and extended but I just guessed on mine.

Hopefully this helps you.

general rule of thumb is to leave 33% of the rod showing at ride height.

there's a nice spreadsheet in the tech links on my site covering most every shock out there....
