If you ain't sure, measure em......

And you can mount a 14" shock to where it will allow as much or even more wheel travel than a 16" shock that's mounted/angled differently. There's a lot more to it than simply running 16's on the rear cuz they're cooler than 14's.

I run 14" coilovers on both of mine no issues. Actually fit a 14 " FOX behind the axle of our YJ and did not cut the inner fender.

Running Fox 2.0 14" on all four corners of mine.

I have always found the limits of axle travel to be something other than the shocks on the jeep, fender clearances, driveline bind etc. On a juggy you get to design for shock travel and eliminate most of those limitations. So the question comes down to : Do you need the additional 2" of travel? I have set up my buggy with 14" ORI mostly because that is what I was able to find a deal on. Would 16" be cooler yes but I doubt it will limit my wheeling ability to only have 14" instead.
