Default Need front shocks NOW!!!!!!

OK y'all here's my problem, I have a 93 Sport 4x4 all 4 shocks have been shot since I got it, my oldest son gave me a set of shocks he go for a Cherokee he no longer has the rears are a perfect fit, the fronts however bottom out as soon as I lower it
Its a 39 Dakota with a 3" suspension lift and a 3" body lift, I know the body lift isn't an issue on buying shocks only the suspension lift is, BUT can somebody here PLEASE recommend a set of front shocks, I'm racking my rain as I type this with sites that have everything except what I need

See if they make a Gabriel Ultra for a lifted truck.

Every place I look all they show is stock height shocks extended 14" retracted 9" , unless I have a full size Ford or Chevy, my old ones are 14" retracted and 21" extended I CAN find them on 4WP's site but they are way too long

As long as compressed is no longer than you need, and extended is at least as long as you need there, you should be OK; you'll hit suspension snubbers before you hit end of shock travel.

Here's another thought (note: I don't know if these are the proper thread for Dakota shocks!) ... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-727000

Use an extension on regular shocks.
