I agree, tape measure. You have to not only figure out the measurements, but decide on what type of mounts you want to run. Many go the the JKS conversion in the front and also barpin eliminators. I have modified my lower front axle mount to accomadate longer shocks. Many cut off those rear boat anchors in the back.

Otherwise if you need something right now and cheap. Get the tape and look at Doestech's. They'll get you by until you really know what you want. otherwise I recomend the 5100 bilstiens for a more permanent solution.

I still run the boat anchors for now. Eventually, I'll either mke my own or buy the JKS/ORGS ones.
