Rear bolt in shock options

Do you guys happen to know what shocks fit in the stock location? I'm looking for something longer as my stockies do not allow for full droop of the rear. Wanted something cheap for now till I can the rear done up really nice. not trying to fab up anything since it would just be getting cut off later.

Thanks!

What are these shocks going on? Year/make/model? Going on a stock truck/runner?

Its its had a SAS then the rear must be lifted too, correct? So stock shocks wont fit.

Got any pictures of this truck?

limited droop is less of a concern than not enough up travel. If you've changed your rear spring set up then you need to measure the distance at full compression. To get more travel from a shock the rod and body both need to be increased in length, thus longer when fully compressed. Shock will be damaged if too long.

Simple solution for cheap and easy. measure at full compression then use and application catalog or email a shock manufacture length with mounting config. I was at one time planning on running monroe shocks that was a full size dodge application.
