Rear shocks

I need some help ordering some rear shocks.my old shocks were 14.9 collapsed and 24.9 extended but they were sky jacket and I am wanting to see if I can get something better like blistiens
tyia

 

Fox, King, Icon, ADS, and Bilstein all have variants that fit those lengths.

Just pick one

 

Is your truck lifted? Bilstein has two "standard" sets of shocks for the truck- a non-lifted and lifted setup that you can just buy off the shelf. Otherwise any shock company probably can get you a shock that will fit...

 

My math says that's a 10" travel shock. Do you have extended bump stops? I run 10" Bilsteins with my OME Dakars, but I did have to use a larger bump stop to avoid bottoming the shock, because compressed they are about 1" longer than the shocks you are using. So yeah, the 10" travel Bils aren't the same ext/comp dimensions as the shock you have.

 

That and 10's are about as long as you want to run before a shock relocation.

Bilstein Shorty's will be perfect in this scenario if using the stock shock location.

Personally, I'd opt for a relocation and run 12's or 14's if you did a leaf swap.

 

I am not sure if these are the right shock size because when I install the old one on the bottom fully extended it sticks out

 

Holy fucking hidden rust

Those shocks look to be a good 5 years overdue for replacing

You still failed to help us help you as @Andy01DblCabTacoma asked if you had a lift or not.

 

Yes it does I believe it is a 2-3 inch lift
And yea I just bought the truck and starting to replace and fix parts

 

That doesn't really mean much. The shock should have additional length when the truck is sitting at ride height. It needs that for suspension down travel.

 

Pictures of the entire rear leaf pack setup

Tomorrow of course since it's night already

We'll get you sorted out

 

Thank you so much

 

I am hoping to install new leaf spring in the future I am just not sure when

 

They're rusted as shit, but they look stock.

I'll have to go through my old pictures and compare leaf packs though first...

 

I thought it was stock but I ordered the stock blistien shocks and they were too short. Like it was about half an inch from the mount

 

Personally I'd be pulling wheels off and replacing those drums and more.

That stuff is already transparent.

 

I'd pull off the entire rear axle and get rid of all that rust, then coat it.

I've seen posts about rear diffs leaking and no, they don't have a rear cover as it's solid and sealed up on the back end; 3rd member comes out the front side.

 

Not stock- OEM is 3 + overload. These are after market - I think OME Dakars?

But yeah... shocks are the least of the concerns here, the back plates on those drum brakes are doing their best impression of the Titanic.

 

No wonder they look familiar, I ran OME myself.

That rust though
