lots of options, a quick search would show up likely hundreds of posts... from a month ago to over 15 years ago (if the forum went back that far), off the top of my head, i recall toxic shocks, personal experience i used stock replacement air shocks for and Isuzu pick up, (i think they were the same part # for the mazda trucks anyways), or any replacement shock for isuzu pups. some websites actually list the full extended length and fully compressed length. take a couple mins and check out what you can find. rockauto.com, even autozone,

also, with what you described, you are likely sitting on the axle (same setup of leafs in my truck and 2" block gives me 1 1/2" of clearance with no air in the shocks, and no load)... unless your frame is notched... then you may need to find other shocks, or think about relocating them so they actually do something instead of sit at fully collapsed...
