Stock shocks will be too short with the 3" lift.

Do it once, do it right.

Replace the shocks when you put the lift on...Seriously.

Depends on the shocks. My shocks didn't work with the 2" bb, but most of the other xj's I read about did. Just do the 3" lift when you can get the new shocks. You will never regret doing the job right once, but you will regret doing the job more than once wrong. I think that makes sense doesn't it?

Just spend the little extra money and get the longer shocks. If doing a job do it right the first time. It will be better in the long run
