You need to provide a little more info!! Is it stock height? lowered? lifted? airbagged? what size wheels?

OK the best bet is to go to your local parts store with the measurments you need a shock for. Assuming the truck is bagged, Measure your fully compressed length and fully extended length you need a shock to fit, you will also need to know what type of mounts you need top and bottom.

If you get a shock catalog, say Monroe, go to the back and they list all of their shocks but length (collapsed and extended) and they give you the upper and lower mount types and dimensions. I am sure you will be able to find something that will work for you in there. If you use monroe shocks go for the Monroe-matic shocks, they work at different heights. Do not use "Sensatracs" you will spend more money and you will wear them out in no time because they are designed to work in one specific height range.

Try to get the parts store to give you a catolog from last year so you have it for future refernce. Every bag job I do I use my monroe catalog to find shocks.
