rear shock height question

Might be a stupid question. Years and years ago I put a 3" leveling kit on my front end. Well it's bordeline too tall now, I would like to raise the rear up. I'm already due for new shocks, do they make shocks that are slightly taller then the stock ones to raise the back up. I only need a couple of inches in height......2" would probably be ideal.

The shocks will not raise the rear, you need blocks or add a leaf.the leaf springs control the height, the shocks control the bouncing. And once you add the height with a block or leaves you will need longer shocks. There are kits online and on Ebay.
