what shocks with my setup?
currently im running a 3" rc lift with pucks on top and jks shackles in back. i just installed control arm drops and lower control arms on friday and i have 5.5" coils to stick on after christmas. right now i did some tests with the jack in the garage and it seems like my shocks bottom out before its fully flexed down. so after the 5.5 coils i want to get new shocks i was wondering if i should get shocks for a 7 or 8" lift and install longer bumpstops to get the most flex or should i just buy shocks for a 4-6" lift?
i also plan to run shackle relocation brackets in the back too.
i read a sticky above and the way it sounded to me is what made wonder if i should buy shocks for a bigger lift.
a pic to show off the control arm drops and and arms.

Disconnect you're shocks after everything's done and flex one side all the way done and the other side all the way up. Then measure the distance from mounting point to mounting point on both sides. That will give you the size shock you need
