When installing a suspension lift kit on a vehicle that already has a body lift kit how should you determine what length of shocks to use?

The body lift does not matter, it just lifts the body. The only thing you need to worry about is the length the new suspension will add to the stock suspension. For example if you put on a 4" suspension lift then you will need to add about 5" - 7" inches in the shock to make sure you have enough up and down travel within the suspension lift, and that it does not "bottom out".

What can you do to your suspension to support bigger rims and tires?
There's only a few things that you can do to your suspension to support bigger rims and tires & that is to modify the suspension and weight distribution of the car. You will probably have to change the size and type of shocks, springs, brakes, etc. and after you do all of that there is really no assurance that your handling will be improved. When engineers design an automobile they determine the best wheel size and tire size ratio for that vehicle. Any time you alter that design, such as your case where you are installing larger rims and shorter tires, you essentially affect the overall design. When installing larger rims and shorter tires, you are usually doing it at the expense of a rougher or less plesant ride from the car. For most who like the big rims, this is a trade-off that they are willing to accept.

It would depend on the state of the transmission, suspension, and body. If your vehicle has a rusted out frame or severe body damage there would be no point. I would recommend doing a thorough inspection of the vehicle to determine its overall condition. If you cannot determine this yourself i suggest taking it to a mechanic before proceeding.
