Measuring for shocks

How do you measure for shocks?
I know what some may be thinking; just give them your make and model and how much lift if any and they can get you what you need.

Now this is what I think may be a problem, maybe not???
I have looked at everything under my truck and it is all stock escept for the helper leafs on the back. But if you look at my stock truck against another stock truck mine has way more wheel clearance, like it has a lift.

Here is a pic of my 94' f-150 Ex. Cab 4X4 Off Road (does that make a difference) 30X9.5X15 Pro Comps
I will be putting larger tires on at some time, these came with it and are just too short.

Id call the co. that you are going to buy the shocks from & have the measurements on hand when you talk to them.

Measure the shocks from eye-to-eye with the truck on level ground and loaded the way you usually drive it.

Your truck doesnt have a towing package does it? Im curious to know since Ive been trying to find out if those trucks sat higher than the standard ones.
