Default shock length

99 Cherokee has a 3" rough country lift on it. Front shocks are shot. Does anyone know the shock length for replacements or can you tell me how to measure the length?
Thanks.

Measure from center of bottom eye, to the base of the stem. If you are the original purchaser of the RC lift, they'll replace the shocks for free.

I was the original purchaser, but they were junk from the get go. I'd like to upgrade. Thanks for the info!

By all means then go for the Bilstein 5100's for a 3" lift are how they are listed.

I can tell you my 4" lift from IRO, the shocks are 26" extended, 15" collapsed.
i got 4" on IRO LAs and need longer shocks in the front. and i might add another inch of lift in a couple months. any thoughts on the length of em i should get? running 32s now, plan is 35s.
