Default 4 wheeler shocks on back of 80 G1???

I was wondering if anyone knows of a 4 wheeler (( or any coil over))shock that will bolt on the rear of my 80 G1 with no alterations and give it around 2 inches of lift???
Can I run 10 inch tires on the rear without any alterations??
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!

I'm using a Honda 400EX shock for 5" of lift. To avoid the cost of shocks simply fab a 2" steel extension for your stock coilovers. You can do that by cutting down a piece of square tube and a couple of small welds, paint it black and your done!

I think you can do the 10s with 21" tires but I'm not positive. Someone else will certainly chime in about that.

Here's what a set of Honda 400EX shocks looks like in my '84 G1, gave it about 4" of lift I'd say.

I run ex400's all around on my 79. Here's a photo of the rear setup.
