yeah you need to find out how much stroke you need, so I guess would be 8", then just find the shortest shock from a similar sized vehicle that has that stroke. picking shocks is always a give and take ordeal.

NAPA has a great book where you can use attaching point styles, and lookup by lengths and strokes.
