3.5-5'' shocks for 3'' lift
PM us if you want us to put together a package deal for the lift and shocks.
I went that route also. The fronts are great, but I didn't consider that the rear of the JK needs less lift than the front to sit level, so the rear shocks are fairly well compressed.
New bumpstops just arrived to take care of it, but I was also looking at the synergy relo brackets as well. One to move the bottom of the shock up out of harms way, and a corresponding bracket to move the top of the shock up. Need to do some measuring to see what will work out best, but was considering moving the top a bit further up than the bottom (or the bottom a bit less than the top, I guess) to help with the compression at normal ride height. We'll see.
Do not use the short ome shocks. Those are what I replaced. Wasn't happy with the length at all.
