After a few searches I can't seem to find the exact information as applied to my scenario. Many other stuff that dances around what I am looking for, but no specifics.

I just bought an 85 4Runner, which will be my project truck that I can bring out West (instead of my POS IFS). I want to take advantage of the Rancho sale which is ending tomorrow so I need to find out shock sizes without having the springs on the truck. Yeah, sounds lazy :flipoff2: but I was going to do compression and extension measurements with springs on, but then I won't be able to cash in on the 3 for 4 deal.

I'm planning on rear Procomp YJ 2.5" spring up front and Chevys in the rear for an overall 3" lift. I imagine the 9012 with work in the rear as long as I reposition the upper and lower mounts. Is this correct? How about the front with 3" of lift and the stock mounts? Which one works best? And if I upgrade to Fords or AOR can I still use them or will I have to replace those too?

I'm not looking for more than 3" lift. In GA we don't really need that much articulation and this truck is fairly mint so I won't be tearing it up that bad. That's what the cruiser is for :)

Thanks for help!

you live near somewhere that you are going to get th ranchos or are you going to get em in the mail. if you live somewhere near a place just got buy some and then get your springs on and measure if they fit great if not take them back and say they are the wrong size. thats what i did with mine. check the link below under info and there is an excel sheet with all lot of shocks and their vital info. i didnt make the sheet just came acrossed it and it was helpful so i thought id pass it along. if anyone knows who is responsibile for it let me so i may give them credit.
