I went to my local NAPA store when I was looking for shorter shocks for my '96. Their shock catalog will list the top and bottom mounting particulars and the stock length. What you have to do then, is look at all of the other shocks that have the same mounting and are the length you want/need. For my '96, which has a 4-inch drop from stock height, I am using '99 Tahoe/Suburban shocks.

On my '69, also lowered 4 inches, I am running KYB's from ECE. I don't know which aftermarket shocks would cross over in a catalog, but I am nowhere near having to find out.
