Default What shocks with 3in Blocks?

I call Rancho and ask what shocks would work with a 3 in block in place of the factory block and they said "None". WTH! Just trying to see what guys are running with 3 in blocks. Everything I have read says 0-1" or 4". I want a good Shock and not an extension, just trying to see if a 4" lift shock would work on the back.

+1000 bilsteins is the way to go, procomp shocks suck.

I have Rough Countrys on the rear of mine with a 3 in block and they are a lot better than the stock shocks. Are there better, sure but probably not for 75 a pair. Now I just need to match a set for the front.
