Default 3 inch lift, need rear shocks. Help!

With the three inch lift on my truck my factory length rear shocks are now too short to allow the axle to fully articulate. Read: Speed bumps SUCK.

Anyone able to help me locate a set of rear shocks that are 3 inches longer than factory? I called Monroe this morning and the dude basically told me "Nope, nope, sorry, no we offer nothing to suit your needs sorry. Oh, was that a mega cab? No? ****. Still nope, can't help."

Those load adjusting shocks looked interesting, and I'm hoping the tech I called just sucked at his job. Any help?


Edit - Okay, did some measuring. Compressed my current gas magnums are, bolt to bolt: 25 inches


Extended they max out at 26.5 inches. Meaning I've only got 2.5 inches of travel before I bottom my shocks out. No bueno!

I found these that Monroe make. Just some longer gas magnums.

Look at bilstein. They have a good selection for lifted trucks.
