Since the stuff I have listed on Ebay is doing waaaaay better than I thought, it looks like I may be able to put new shocks on my truck sooner, rather than later. So, my question is, with a 2.5" leveling kit on the frontend, will I have to go with extended front shocks or are stock-lengh units OK? FWIW, 95%+ of my driving is on either pavement or well- to somewhat-maintained dirt/gravel roads so it's not like I take the PSD four-wheeling where I have the suspension at it's max articulation on anything that even vaguely approaches a regular basis.

I was thinking about going with Bilstein shocks (vs. the Rancho's I've got on it now)--does anyone have the part numbers I'd need handy? Also, are the nickel-plated Bilsteins any better than the yellow/blue shocks and are they worth the extra expense?
