Shock Length to But for Lift

I'm buying Bilstien shocks when I put my lift on my truck. I don't know what size shock I need to buy and I don't have a way for my truck to be down that long to put the lift on and measure everything.

Is there anyone thatknows what size I should buy or has a way to flex and measure everything that would be cool. thanks in advanced.

I'm putting a 1.5" BJ Spacer and Matching rear lift. I'm going with a shackle lift for sure in the rear. I have been told that a 3" shackle would accomidate a 1.5" spacer in the front. I don't knwo how that works exactly , but whatever. I'm asking that on another thread.

How long of shackels with that type of lift ???

SEARCH - there are TONS of threads about shock length (including part numbers in most cases) for BJ spacer lifts!

You know why I don't like searching for everything because it's usually a post that is forever old and most people wont respond to my questions because it is such an old post. I'm someone who likes to talk to people when I have questions because I don't want to order the wrong thing. What's the harm in answer a question or starting a new thread of something that is yes in the search but maybe so old that no one can find it on a regular basis.
