Default Shock recommendations for a 3" lift

What are your recommendations for shocks for a 3" lift.

XJ will see mostly street driving.

Part # or skus for the shocks would help.


Tks
Will

Definitely spend a little more on shocks if your going to dd it. I'm about 4" on white body explorer shocks and I can feel every grain in the road. Bilstien 5100's are what I would go for myself, I hear they're wonderful.
