I don't see how it's possible you need a shock that size on a truck with a 6 inch lift.

Rancho's application guide lists a ton of variable length shocks as well. Check out the guide on their site...

I ran a setup of pro comp 3000s on my truck when I got my sway aways re-valved with my 11 inch rear springs. Take the shocks off the truck, lift the frame of the truck and measure how much the rear end droops from eye to eye on the shock hangers. Find a shock that with fit that length and you are good to go.

Heres where i got mine for dirt cheap. Now are they good shocks i dont really know because i havent driven the truck that much sense having them but you can try them out. I got the biggest ones they had and when i ordered they were out of the resi ones but they are also adjustable.
