Looking at a 3" lift kit that consists of 3" spacers and AALs, do I really need longer shocks or will I be fine for normal driving and the occasional off road?

You need new shocks or junkyard it and find some from a f-150. Search around and you will find cheap shock alternatives.

You will be fine, IF , you drive it like a LOW RIDER and avoid ALL bumps in the road.

Ok thanks for all your replies.
What about Rocky Road's 3 inch lift? I guess they come with some BPE's or something.
Will I be able to run that lift with the stock shocks?

If you lift it Change shocks. Even on my little 2in lift the stock shocks were to short. I used ZJ shocks in the front and MJ in the back. you can run like monroes or some other cheap shock if you want. If you want the part numbers I'll dig them up for you.

Just for reference will TJ shocks work? I can get a good deal on some 4" lift shocks for $50, thanks.

BPE's will allow you to run stock shocks, but not if you do any flexing offroad. Besides the cost is basically the same as the correct shock. Shocks from a Rubicon will work, but regular TJ shocks wont. Stay on the stree untill you can drop $100 for some cheepy extended shocks, rusty's or Rough Country and the like.

imo shocks are something you dont wanna cheap out on. im running bilstein 7100s in the front and 5150s in the rear. jeep rides like a dream on and offroad
