Default New Shocks with lift?

I have a 1994 Mazda B4000 4x4 SE and I just purchased a 3" body lift kit. I completely forgot about my shock absorbers. I've looked everywhere and cannot find the max lift I can get out of my standard shocks. Anyone have any idea if I will need to order new shocks with a three inch lift? IMG_0074.jpg

Not with a body lift.

A body lift simply "spaces" the body from the frame. Nothing related to suspension components are changed / modified at all.

I would seriously consider going the suspension lift route. It's more money but for sure the way to go

Easier IMO, and looks tons better.
