Default Blocks on top of AAL on top of Shackles Oh My

Alright I have and 03 Edge 2wd. Added a 3.5" spindles lift up front and cranked the t-bars about an inch. In the rear I have a 2" AAL, stock edge blocks, and lift shackles on the 2" hole. Ive search plenty but am still having a little trouble. I think Im still running stock shocks and am in need of some new ones.

I will go Rancho RS5000, Pro comp ES9000, or Bilsteins, but can only find the front shocks to add the 1" lift. I cant find rear shocks that fit my truck with at least 3" longer travel. I know I can get away with shorter shocks but I might add a larger leaf pack and crank the tbars all the way in the future. I dont care which make they are, as long as they fit. Any help?

i ran the same set up for a couple days. i have rachos in the rear and they were not extended all the way. and I'm also running rachos up front and when i use to have my t-bars maxed out i had plenty of down travel in the shock still but no down travel in the suspension.

But did you buy stock size shocks?

To make things easier , does anyone know the stock lengths of a factory shock. Not having luck with specific specs. Dont want to pull it off then have to put it back on. Call me lazy.. i know.
