    I got my 02 double cab a/t 4x4 3.4L with a lift already on it. The rear axle had 3" blocks sitting on the axle tube with the leafs over the top of them. When I go to replace my current shocks, can I buy them for a non-lifted tacoma and expect to get that 3" of stretch out of them or do I need to do some research on my lift brand/model before buying new rear shocks. I didn't see any print on the shock itself so I can't go by what's on there now. Here's a pic:

    Thanks in advance!

    I figured but never having to replace shocks on a lifted truck I figured I should ask. Thank you for the reply.
