Sounds like if you have about 7" of droop, you might have about 4" of uptravel or so (just a complete shot-in-the-dark guess), but that sounds like a 12" or 14" travel shock to me. If you can mount a 14" with the travel centered, then go for it and bump stop accordingly. Same for a 12" really, but we can't know how much travel your rig has without you actually flexing it out to check.
Shock mount placement ("brackets") shackle angle etc. all come into play. I'm currently at ~9" droop, with no issues and no limit straps. ~ 5" uptravel with damn near flat springs, and the shackle angle almost at 45*. 14" shocks.. She rides well for a swapped rig ( '98 Taco w/ bastard pack and 4" shackle) and crawls well too...
I'll post a pic stretched out tomorrow if you want.
Strip your leaf pack down to the main leaf and cycle your suspension
