shocks after spring over

[scottsmyth]

I did a spring over and shackle flip on my jeep, and to no suprize my shocks are now too short. Right now i am also planning on raising the rear of my jeep another 3 inches or so it sets level bc the rear sets low after the lift. I was wondering what other people did for shocks after this. Do i need to order custom shocks or can i go to a parts store and get some off a shelf?

No help but will be looking for the same info.

If you measure the distance between the shock mounts fully compressed and fully extended, you can then go to the parts store and browse the manuals to find a shock that fits. What you don't want is a shock that bottoms out at full compression or limits the suspension travel at full extension as either will destroy the shock.
