diesel yota front shocks

Ok guys I'm at the point my diesel conversion is about to hit the road. I'm having problems finding shocks. I have a 1987 regular cab with a 4" trailmaster lift. I cant find anything on trailmaster shocks to replace the trailmasters that are on it. I ordered 4 skyjacker hydro 7000. The rear shocks fit but the fronts are to big around. I contacted the seller and the parts number (h7054) that's on the shock didn't match the part number on the box(h7004). So I shipped those back and they sent me a new order to which the same thing, wrong shock in the right box. The problem is the shock tube is about 3/8" fatter then the trailmasters and it hits the bump stop mount. Anyone run into this issue? Whats everyone running?

not sure what you mean by longer bolt and spacer to push it out. the shock is a stud mount on top and standard ear mount at the bottom. Only way to move any thing would be to cut the bump stops of or cut the shock ears off and reweld them farther out. Neither do I want to hack off. but finding the smaller diameter shock is what I need...................hence me asking what people use on their lifted yota's. I had trail master shocks on it for the 4" lift. Trailmaster doesn't show anything for Toyotas of this era anymore. most pictures are generic at part websites and they all show the fat cylinder shocks.
