Hi 92Sidekick4x4,

When I did my SPOA on my SJ I used Monroe's. I can not remember the model but I will check if you want - they have 11" of travel stock and nice light dampening characteristics :D
Good fit too. Although they have an eye at the bottom and a spigot at top. Will need some fabbing in the rear :P

i had rancho 1000's in mine for a while,,, but if i was you and doing the spring over id just imboard them, that way you dont need shocks with much travel.. just measure the distance between mounting points and find a shock which will fit in there while having as much drop out as it does stuff... if that made any scence... also i might have a couple shocks here that fit... u can have em free, there monroe's
