Shock replacement help

Hi.. Newbie here, so hi all!
I recently acquired an 89 4x4 pickup with a 3" body and 3" suspension lift for a total of 6" lift. I am slowly restoring her back to glory and next is new front axles and replacing the Rancho RS5000 shocks. My question is this... which RS5000 shocks do I need to order?! I see 0" and 3" lift listed... need a little guidance here, guys! Thanks!

you're keeping the lift? is so, get the 3".

i'd recommend looking at other shocks, too. the rancho 5k are not that great of a ride, ime. assuming you're not looking to spend for high dollar performance (ie, bilstein, old man emu, etc), kyb monomax makes a better ride. and, you can typically also find them at bargain type prices. like buy 3 get 1 free sorta thing. the rancho 9k are also better than the 5k, but cost more. there's other brands, of course, but those are two popular ones and ones i've had experience with.

up to you, of course. just thought i'd offer the suggestion
