Your best bet is to install the shock mounts, then set the truck at ride hieght and measure the installed 'ride hieght'. Then lift the chassis until the wheels are hanging in the air, and measure for an 'extended' or 'open' hieght. Then call on a vendor that knows what to do with the numbers and get the right shocks the first time.
