Rear air bumps

What is the most common size everyone uses when you go through the floor 14" stroke? And would a short body be best or do they not make short bodys past a point? Cause I can get a deal on 14" stroke 7100s...

14's would probably work fine, but I'd bet you don't even need that much travel.

Your shock setup right now is totally off. Get rid of those shocks, cut a hole in the floor, compress your junk to full stuff, and see where the top mount ends up. Then jack up the rear until the axle is hanging from the leaf springs, and see how much travel you actually have to work with.

I have 16's in the back of mine, it ain't no jeepspeed, but I have them limited at 13" to keep the driveshaft happy. But this might give you an idea what "through the floor" means anyway.

I don't know how much "lift" is on it anymore, but for reference, tires in this pic are 38.5.

14's would work. I believe where space isnt your limiting factor to go as big as you can fit. You don't need 14" travel to run 14" or 16" shocks. Remember, as the shock gets bigger the more fluid it holds and the longer it will stay cooler.
