i need to figure out how to match shocks with a lift

[superyota]

measure from your mounting point on the axle, to where your shock hoop mount will be.  then look at the measurements of the 10,12, and 14 in shocks compressed and extended and try to get one that falls in the middle.

If you are running leaf springs,

Disassemble your spring pack and make a mock up pack with some scrap steel so that with the main leaf attached, its the same thickness as the real spring pack. Bolt it to the axle. This will give you a really soft spring rate and allow you to cycle the suspension full up and down, measure the amount of travel you have at the location you want to put the shock and then choose a shock accordingly.
