So I would determine what style shock you are wanting to go with.
(looks ,Performance or comfortable ride.)

Start with trying the find a shock that (Will fit) your existing lower mount.
Then find a top mount that will work with your mounting options on the frame.
Then try to find the correct travel length.
Main 3 things is diameter of mounting bolts, width of shock mounting bushing and length of travel.


Hope this helps.
