At 2" exposed shaft, you're a little less than the ideal, but it's no big deal. You should be fine. These shocks measure 9 1/2" compressed, and 14 1/2" extended, so there's 5" of total shock travel. Because of the mounting angle of the shock, and the distance from the tire, you will have more than 2" of suspension travel. It1s10 has some good advice. You need to have some"up" travel as well as some "down" travel for a good ride, so I'd say you're okay.
If you change to the "short" shocks, the total shock travel is only 3 1/2", so they are harder to set up correctly. They are much less forgiving if you don't have them at the 50-60% position.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
