Adjectives of number always come first, so it's "two good years." There is an order in which multiple adjectives are listed in English, which most native speakers know without having studied it. (However "I served him for a good two years" is an expression meaning somewhat more than two. Similar example: "I've been waiting a good ten minutes for you to show up.")

Quantity or number
Quality or opinion

Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
