I think that one will be to long. It says it has a 14" compressed length and I think 13 1/2' is the longest compressed lenghth you can have and still use the original mounting points. As far as the lifting force, when I only had one 65lb shock on, it would hold it up but not to its fully extended height. At that price I guess it's worth trying.
