After doing this mod, I'm guessing you could still use oem length shocks with 3-4 inches of lift??? Seems logical...

If anything it drops the eye of the shock a quarter inch. I wouldn't think there would be a noticeable difference

If they are raised to the center of the axle and mounted in the same location on the axle as original, you can run 3" shorter shocks.

Agreed!
When I replaced my Axle housing I used Zone Off Road mounts.
