Hey Dennis, sounds like you are in need of the Lippert shock part # LC283280 which has dimensions that are very close to what you mentioned. When compressed this is 8-5/8 inches and when extended it is 13-1/2 inches so it would work well for you.
Is your shock blown? If so could you feel it back there when towing after it stopped functioning?
