I tried searching, but nothing came up. I've even looked in the OME dealer book. Does anyone know the length of shocks used in the OME 2 1/2" or any other 3" lift kit? Thanks in advance for the help.

I have an Ironman shock for what I think is the 2.5" lift on my truck and it is +-20" long in it's neutral state. I took a pic but can't seem to get it sized right to upload. Ironman oart number 12635gr9.

Thanks, do you have the extended or collapsed length by chance?
Thread revival: old thread, same problem 12 years later!
So I have the same problem. Found this little nugget on the OME website:
If the N42 is the correct shock for the 45 with their 2.5'' lift, then a 359mm to 594mm shock should do it. Hope this helps! I'm in the same boat.

And this:
Installed these Gas-A-Just's,, and I like the ride. Instead of riding like a brick, it rides like a brick with rounded edges, which I suppose is how the were originally...
Edit: stock height. I think these would work with a 2'' lift as well. when fully extended they went past the stock spring at full sag bit an inch or so.

Put some weight in the bed and it will ride like bricks with rounded edges with weight in the back.
And running lower pressure in your tires helps ride quality a ton.
I put OEM Toyota shocks on my stock or less 45 and they are not bad
I will drive it a bit to get a feel with just the shocks, next step is indeed tire pressure... one step at a time. The previous monroe gas magnum's were definitely stiffer, and the front right was toast.
The price on the KYB's was too good to pass up. I also have a set on the front of my 42 (with 2" OME med. springs) and quite like them.
