Default quick question about shocks??

i just have a question if the shocks from a 2007 rubicon are long enough to go with my ~3 inches of lift on my 2000 cherokee... i remember reading someware that they were perfect for 3 inches of lift on a cherokee i only ask because i can score a set of new ones for 100 rather then 200 for new skyjackers

They work fine you need to take the bar pins out of your shocks and install them in the jk shocks because they do not have them. If your in the 5" range then just buy a set of BPE. With BPE they will be to long at 3".
