shocks

I have a 74 f100 with a 360 4x4. I just purchased the truck and it has a 8 inch lift on 38 boggers. The question i have is, i have a bad shocks in the back. I have blocks in the back for lift and the shock that was put on are not the lenth that is needed. They bolted them to the frame insted of puting the in the upper shock mount. What shock and where can i get the right ones?

Measure eye to eye on your shock mounting bolts, write it down.
Measure eye to eye at full suspension droop, write it down.

The shocks lengths are going to be different more than likely, i.e. front than the back.

Hit the internet and find some shocks you want, that fit your measurements.
