Rear shocks?

So I should be getting some LC 7.5/8 wraps for my 2001 T4R in about a week. I've searched and found some threads about rear shocks, so I just want to make sure I get the right ones to fit, once i decide which ones. I'm on a budget, so trying to keep it cheap. So will all of these fit with 3-4 inches of lift? Will I need an adapter for any of them? :

Rancho RS5208 ('90-'97 rear LC)
Rancho RS5208 | 1990-97 Toyota Land Cruiser 80-series rear

Skyjacker Nitro S97N8055 (3rd gen T4R)
1996-2001 Toyota 4Runner Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly – Skyjacker N8055 - Rear, Skyjacker Nitro 8000, White, Twin-tube, Shock absorber

Rough Country Nitro 9000 (3rd gen T4R)

Thanks for any input. Also open to suggestions, just keep in mind I'm trying not to spend too much.

theres lots of info/opinions on this, the rough countrys are quality and cheap ($$) - i wouldnt think you will be disappointed with them.
 
The Monroe Sensatrac's are 29$ each side. Mine are doing fantastic.

Oh, I just noticed those are all 4runner shocks. If you are doing LC's you want rear LC shocks. Like the ones I mentioned above.

If you get the Monroe's, no adapters or bushings needed. Once you cut out (the best way, trust me) your old shocks, it's a simple bolt in affair.

I'm gonna go with the LC 7 wraps for the rear of my 4runner and am looking for the Monroe debased tracs to go with. Do you have the part number for what you went with?
 
I just used the OEM land cruiser shocks and they're great. They were $45 a piece from the dealership. I can track down the part number if you decide to go with those. just let me know.
 
Hey guys, I ended up going with the Tokico Trekmaster shocks from a '93 LC. Its been about 3 and a half months and they're great, for those of you who are trying to decide. I think I got the pair for around $90 shipped if I'm remembering right.
 
While on the rear shock topic, how about 2 inches of rear lift? Ideal shocks for the rear with 2" lift? Thanks guys
 
Keep your eye open here and yota tech. I scored my 5125 Billies for $100 I believe it was with very low miles
