take your shocks off and measure from center of top shock mount and center of bottom shock mount on both sides and call viking.

if u jack the truck up to take your shocks off make sure you let the truck back down to the ground. so your measuring at normal ride height. you will also what to measure the id of the factory metal bushing and the over all lenght of the factory bushing.

on my 14 i used 2 d220 shocks and the bushings were 9/16 id and the width between the shock mounts are 1 11/16 so i will haft to add a few washers on each side of the bushing.

but u need to double check your setup because every other set up i found were running 2 different shocks but my truck ride height was 17 3/16 and 18 3/16 and viking said the d220 was fine. even though they rate a d220 to 18 max ride height on there web site.

thx for jake Neuman to help me choose the shocks for my truck

that what he sent for me yesterday :

I have helped several customers with your application. The one factor about this kit is we do not have all of the parts to make a complete bolt in kit. There is an upper mount that is required that converts your upper mount from a stud to a loop mount, this is a stronger way to support the coilover. This is a pro comp mount, part # 90-3712. This would mount to you upper shock tower and convert you mount to a loop style.
From there you can use our custom series shocks that would bolt in. I have sold this system in 2 different shock lengths. Most people have bought the C210 shock, which is the shorter of the two and it gets you a lower ride height. We also have a shock that is a little larger, the C212 and that will be for application looking to not go as low.
This customer used the C210 shock, you can reference his stance, (I am not sure what he has for spinals or where he is in his shock ride height).
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...e-come-529544/

Our shocks have a recommended ride height, which is the distance from center upper shock eye to center lower shock eye, when the weight of the vehicle is on the shock. So you could measure this on your truck to estimate where you want you truck to sit to find out what shock will work. The hard part is you have to estimate how much that pro comp mount offset the eye from you upper tower. I have not measured one of these mounts but I would estimate it would offset it 1" to 1.5". So measure from your upper lower to the center of your lower t-bar, subtract the 1.5" that the pro comp mount offsets. Then reference the table below. Make sure you are doing the measurement at the ride height you want to be at when the shock is installed.
COMPRESSED EXTENDED LOW HIGH
HEIGHT HEIGHT STROKE RIDE HEIGHT RIDE HEIGHT
C210 11.572 16.763 5.191 13.648 14.687
C212 12.572 18.638 6.066 14.998 16.212
