What shocks do I need?

Hey guys, I've had my lift on my truck for about 7 years now and I noticed the oter day that the rear shocks are blown, dripping oil. When I bought the lift kit, I think from Sonoran Steel, everything came as a package. Anyway, I was wondering what size/kind of shocks do I need to get to work with OME 891s? Thanks guys!!

Called toytec they said the only 2 shocks that would work are the OMEs or Bilsteins.

take your shocks off, measure them, and buy some the same length in a stiffness of your choice.

The shocks that I have on now I don't think are the right ones which is why I ask. They are KYBs and I'm not sure where I ended up with them or who put them on.

fully compress the suspension without the shocks and measure the distance from the mounting points. Then fully unload your suspension and measure the mounting points. This gives you your collapsed and extended measurments. Give those measurements to your shock provider of choice and hand them $$
