different shocks. call a good suppler and let them know you have a 3" lift and they will recommend the correct shocks. I just put Ranco RSX shocks on my truck and they work great. I got them from http://summitracing.com/ they can help with tech questions.

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but a 3" spindle lift shouldn't warrant a different shock, should it? It relocates the spindle on the upright, but the shock mounts to the lower control arm which, IIRC, is still in the original position, right?

I could be wrong.... it's been known to happen....

the 2 front will be the same and the 2 rear will be the same. go on rancho's website and you will be able to get the part numbers.
