New shocks?

[debutis]

Well, i'm planning on installing my 2" TT/Shackles and 3" PA body lift and was wonderin what you guys run for shocks up front. I was told that the rear shocks would work just fine but the front need to be swapped out with some a bit longer?? Is this true? If I go with new front shocks I might as well go with new rear shocks as well. What is everyone around here running? I like the ranchos and bilsteins. Please give some input as I kinda need to make a descission fast!
Thanks

You'll actually want shocks 2 inches longer all the way around. People will tell you don't need them longer-and that's correct if you don't venture offroad. The stock shocks seem to be too short because I can take mine off and the suspension droops further. In the rear you want longer ones because when your suspension is flexed to it's maximum, your shocks will be the limiting point of your suspension which is very bad for them.
