Default Shock replacement

Bought an 05 2wd with a lift on it and it needs new shocks all around but I'm not sure what size I need to buy. Anyone know how I can figure it out. Can't find any part numbers on them anywhere

EDIT - misread your OP

Usually you can call a parts store and tell them how much lift you have and they can get shocks based on that. Typically they only offer Rancho though. May try a local performance shop if you have one in your area.

I don't know what kind of lift I have. And the shop around here wants 100$ to look the truck over

nrivera04 said "how much lift", not what brand of lift. Post your wheel well opening height and pictures as Techrep said and we can tell you how much lift you have. Then, go to any website like Monroe, Rancho, Bilstein and look for a shock that has that many inches more of travel.
