Pro comp makes shocks of practically every size. get a ride height measurement, and I can provide you with part numbers for the right length shocks. I have TJ coils on the rear of my 64, but i'm using stock length Monroe air shocks @ 80 PSI (because i have a long bed). They don't bottom out near as I can tell.

I would highly recommend looking around your local junkyard for Timbrens off an S-10 Blazer, or other truck with a towing package. You will have to trim them, but it makes life better to have them in place so you still retain a measure of safety when you bottom out (if you're heavily loaded)
