    Use the MA793, is a pretty close match for the 4X4 and Prerunner. They measure 14.25 compressed and 23.75 extended. You will find that the eye on one end is about an eighth of an inch wider than the mounting point and can be corrected with a grinder.

    I would not use the MA793. They are for a 1980-88 Thunderbird car. They have incorrect damping characteristics for a truck, especially if loaded. I tried them on mine. The rear end of the truck will bounce and bottom very badly when there is a load. I have seen it personally. They will fit and you can grind the eye as stated above but there is nothing to be gained.I tested them with an 1100 lb payload. They could only raise the load 1/2" with 90 psi. This was with 2+1 factory springs. Payload carrying improvement is why I was experimenting with them. The other part number, I am not familiar with.
