Question What is/how to tell the shock size for my truck

I've got an 86 Sr5 xtra cab with i believe to be a 3" lift. On the knuckle adapters its marked as Trail Master, I assume this is the brand. I looked them up and found a website but they have no toyota lifts. Anyways my shocks blew out and I would like to replace them, but I've settled with just getting cheap or knock off shocks. But the ones at my local auto parts store are said to fit a stock 86 and I'm not sure how to measure the distance between the a-arms (fornt) and then the axle to frame (rear). I need them as soon as possible, i haven't found a thread that helped me with this issue.

Thanks
