need a shock that travels 8-16" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm accounting for about a 20 degree angle, don't want to go any more farther and hurt it's effectiveness.

I have several shocks for mock-up on my '51 but none have the right length and stroke. I've been looking around at shock specs and can't seem to find one that fit's my needs. It will have to travel at least from 8" collapsed to 16" extended. None of the shorter shocks seem to fit that bill.

BTW this is a rear shock on my F9000 airbag equipped, trailing arm '50 chevy.

Any ideas?
