what size rear shocks on toyota?

[khwrx]

ok guys a few of you have seen my writeup on my tan toyota, well i tryed to flex out my truck and saw that my rear tire lifted, so tomarow im gonna take the shocks off the rear and see what it does, my question is what size are you guys running? im running chevy 63s in the rear also. ill measure what size is on it now.

ok i took my shocks off and flexed out my suspension, my shocks isnt the problem. im running chevy 63s in the rear with 4 leafs, thats including the overload. its like my rear leafs isnt drooping enough. should i remove a leaf ? i measured from top of the spring plate to the bottom of the frame and i got 16 inchs. when i flexxed it out it measured 18.5inchs. so lets hear it from the suspension guru's.

Take out one leaf, you should have 3 including over load

ok which one do i take out?

When it's at full droop, what kidn of angle is teh shackle at? That's makes a difference too, you may need a difference length shackle to accomodate more total swing distance

the shack doesnt swing alot if thats what you mean, i dont have any pics of what it looked like either.
