Well, those MIGHT give you some lift, but they are going to be the same quality as the parts currently on your Jeep. The shocks very well may be the exact same, though both might be specifically tuned for the extra weight of the JKU. You really would be best looking for the JKU take-off parts.
I paid $120 for shocks/springs/links off a Rubi that was driven straight from dealer to 4WheelParts & modded. Well worth it for me. While you can do the swap with a buddy so long as you have a floor jack, jack stands and good wrenches & sockets, you'll need to budget $80 or so for an alignment from a shop that's worked on lifted 4x4's. Also, I'd recommend trying EBay for a JKS adjustable track bar and improved steering stabilizers. Combined, this will be another $200 & would be best done before winter (if you live in cold weather state)
