i got nitto drop shocks for my toyota... on my last truck i had rancho 9000x shocks, they have a full range of sizes and they are 9 way valves, go to (checker/shucks/cragen-dependin on where u live) and ask them.

I use Belltech and they work fine...Just get the right specs for your model... Go with Bilstien, or air ride shocks if the Belltechs dont work!

go to your local Pep boys and buy some Gabriels, not the airshock ones,the Reds,50/50shocks(can be mounted either way) there cheap, they work and Pep boys can go by what you need they have all the measurment, they dont need vihicle specific, this is about the only thing pepboys sells that i buy, except for those really cool euro starter kits, that give you 10hp on vinyl alone...what a deal

if you have an s10 i feel you pain, i found some short ones but not short enough, so i ended up extending my lower mounts by like and inch and then installed the shocks. i dont have a problem now and it rides great. but i think they are both going out. they are leaking from the seals... its cause cause the shocks are fully extended b4 the suspension is able to lift 100% but i have a warentey on them so all i have to do is exchange them out for ney ones

go to gabriel.com website, download their catalog, around page 300 starts the specs sheets that show the type of top and bottom mounts and extended/compressed lengths.

call monroes tech line give them the dimensions and the end styles i think you can find their # on their site, thats who i use when i need a shock for a custom application.
