Hi OK heres the deal I did a rough country 2" lift kit, shackles on the back and spacer in the front with shocks, on my 2001 classic, of course i now want to go 3" lift, will my shocks that i bought for my 2" lift work for a 3" lift? what is the best way to get there from where im at now?

you will probably need new shocks. and if you wanna go cheap id say one inch block in rear and spend a little extra money and get coils for front, but save the spacers for when you wanna go even bigger

You will need new shocks. There is no simple way to go from 2-3 inches of lift. If if I were you I would just go buy a complete 3" kit and either scrap the 2" one or save it to go bigger later. At 3 inches it is best to get new lca's and springs. I wouldn't just stack another spacer on top of your current one and I really would not run any blocks.
