Well, if the x-axis numbers don't mean anything, then why not simply
create a list of x-axis points for each list?  One way could be:

posl2 = Range[Length[l2]];
posl1 = Range[1, Length[l1]](Length[l2]/Length[l1]);
pl1 = Transpose[{posl1, Sort@l1}];
pl2 = Transpose[{posl2, Sort@l2}];

And then plot both pl1 and pl2 together rather than l1 and l2.

DisplayTogether[
  ListPlot[pl1, PlotStyle -> {PointSize[0.015], 
    Red}, DisplayFunction -> 
      Identity, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> 
    All], ListPlot[pl2, PlotStyle -> {PointSize[0.015], Blue},
     DisplayFunction -> Identity, Frame -> True, Axes -> False]]
