longer shocks
Would it be a good idea to get 6" lift shocks for a 3 inch lift? I am going to add bumpstops to limit uptravel.... I dont want my shocks to limit the down... I am going to get 6" extended brake lines as well... Thanks for the input...

OP, this is a very very very bad idea. I tried it. I had literally no uptravel. Get off camber easy this way. I wanted more down travel but remember, shocks aren't your only limiting factor. CA, steering components can be. Plus too long of a shock wont even fit. You'll be bottoming out left and right.
Wonder boy above me has the best option.

Unless you have all the other components to support shocks that big then they will do more harm than good.
That would probably require shock towers, and you wouldn't be able to really use them without long arms, high steer, and extended everything.
