Default what size/kind shock for level likt

well title says it all fellas and lone gal.
what size shock you running on your leveled rig. i no some level kits have re-locate brackets but some dont and you have to get bigger shocks (longer).
so what size you running and what kind have you all had good or bad opinions on.
im amagin that a level is abou 3" so i was thinking a 3-4" liftted shock should do bit want your feedback on what you all did.

i leveled the front of my truck 3" (t-bar crank)
and kept the stock shocks on there and i havnt had any problem at all, ive been wheeling and had the suspension maxed out and still no problems. i do plan on getting better shocks soon but will stay with the stock length

Rancho's here, but I've run Bilstein's as well. I like them both. Without doing your you need to get the size that's 2" longer than the one that you truck calls for at stock height...

I think the standard shock length is in the ballpark of 11 3/4" (compressed) if memory serves me...
