I think there is an obvious answer why they are 4" but I'll wait and see what others say!

If you haven't replaced the previous shocks with +2" shocks there is no need to change the brake hose.

Yes the shocks are the limitation on axle articulation, so standard shock means standard max articulation, regardless of spring height.

Plenty of vids on YouTube about doing this. I was watching some last night.
