If your worried about bottoming out your shocks, which I don't think they should, why not get some spring spacers. They are cheap, and will be fine until you can get some coin for lifted springs.
When I fitted my 2 inch lift, the shockies I removed, were the exact same part number as what I was putting in with the lifted springs, never had a problem and I did heaps of off-road like this.
