Shocks after switching rear blocks

Ok so I found out that I’m going to go with 3 inch blocks. My factory blocks are 1 7/8 inches thick so overall it will sit 1/4 inch higher in the back. So when I bought my 2.5 level for the front they sent me all 4 shocks. So now my question is will those shocks most likely work with 3 inch blocks?? I’m removing the factory blocks and putting the 3 inch on so there would be an 1 1/4 ish difference. Does anyone think that I would need new shocks or would the ones provided with the leveling kit work???
thanks.

They should be fine. If you look at shocks, most say they fit 0 to 2" lift.

I’m going to try it and see I’m just unsure. I don’t know if I would technically call it a 3 inch lift if I’m removing the factory blocks and going to a 3 inch block. It will only be about an 1 1/4 higher than stock...

Yep, basically a 1" lift is all you are doing.
