Default OEM shocks for 3" lift?

Have between 3" and 3.5" lift, is there a basic OEM (not ome) shock that would work?
Anyone have a cross over reference to a shock that would bolt in and have this range?

Thanks,
Slack

I'm doing a 3" OME lift soon, have all the parts ready. I too am hoping to use black jk shocks, but I'm using bar pin eliminators front and rear to gain a little bit of length. Something you might want to consider. I'm at least a month away from my big install, so I won't have any confirmation for a bit.

Good luck.

I had a set of black JK shocks, it was a couple of years ago, but if I recall correctly, the fronts were only marginally longer than the ones I took off my stock height jeep. I ran the rear ones for a while, never had any issues with them to my recollection. It was on a 3" lift
