look for some RV shocks that are the lenght you need.. they are shorter but are built for a heavier load..

shocks are over rated the auto manufacture just put them on so they can justify the high price of cars

I got a part # @ the shop. I can get it for you Monday morning.

I usually measure the truck and see how much travel I can get out of a shock in the location I choose to put it. Then I go over to O'reily's and look in the Monroe shock/strut book and find the corresponding shock that will work for my specific application. I have used several different part # on several different truck so my part # may not work for your acpplication but then again it may work.
