budget shocks for 3.5-4"

how many people on here run budget shocks on their 3.5 to 4 inch setup?
ive heard the jk shocks work but the compressed/extended lengths just dont seem quite right to me.

also, how's the travel with the shocks?

3.5 to 4 is too tall for JK shocks. I rocked a 3.5" with JK shock and work great, but only did light trails before upgrading to longer shocks

I have a set for the front thats made for 4.5" of lift that I'm sure will work. Just let me know

And yes JK shocks are to small.

Rear shocks are easy most truck shocks as a whole are long enough I run gm 09+ 2500 shocks with bpe's in the rear a lot of shops give them away for free since a lot of people lift those trucks. For the front I have used tj 2" shocks which are long enough
