Default 99 cherokee with 3" rough country lift

Can anyone tell me the shock length for this lift kit? Mine won't come out in one piece, so if I take one out to measure it, I'm screwed. Thanks.

if you want good shocks flex it out measure at full stuff and get the longest shock you can. if you need something on the cheaper side JK takeoffs should hold you over until you figure out what you want out of your rig.

Kit shocks are generally the lift height longer. Compressed and extended. When researching I went to Monroe's and Gabriel's sites and looked up stock replacements then compared to zone and a couple others. IIRC ~23" extended were the 3" kit shocks.

23.5 extended and 14 compressed is what was on the 3" Skyjacker lift I took off of my rig.
