Default Shock Suggestions

Looking to get new shocks. I have a shortarm 3" lift. Can't find the exact length I should get. From what I gathered, I should get 15.07" collapsed and 25.07" extended for the rear & 14.64" collapsed and 24.54" extended for the front. The skyjacker 7400 series seem like a good deal, but haven't heard much about them. Doesn't seem like anyone on here runs them either. Open to thoughts on those and any other suggestions.

Forgot to mention it's a 99 sport. I'm currently runny Rusty's shocks and it feels like my fillings are going to fall out.

Confirm your extended and collapsed measurements by removing your existing shocks, flexing the suspension (front and rear) and measuring between the mounting points. Doing so will ensure that you are getting the right shock for your rig.

Once you've got the dimensions....

I was looking at staying under $80 a shock. Yeah those 5100's look like a good deal. I will certainly order some from you once it warms up a bit here in Minnesota and I can get those measurements. It would be nice to have a garage to wrench in.
