Looking for 3" lift shocks.

Ok so I bought a 93 ZJ that has a Skyjacker 3" lift kit. The rear shocks are air bags to help lift it up but the shocks are worn out and no longer work but the bags still hold air and work.

My question is does anyone know if the shocks can be rebuilt or if anyone has used them before? I am looking to replace them with some autozoners or advanced shocks the jeep is just a road beater and snow truck I don't mud this truck (1st gear slips). I remember the XJs you could use F250 shocks, can this be done on the ZJ or with another type of shock?

I paid $400 for this truck and not looking to invest much just needs to last winter and then resell for X2

Just pick up a set or pair of gabriels for the rear from autozone and they should last you for 20k miles

Yea I'm lazy and don't want to take the shocks off, extend them and see how long they are and then deal with the retards at my local auto shop trying to find a shock the right length and with the same style.
