Shocks With 1.5" Leveling Kit

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but....
Need new shocks. I was looking at KYB, but they don't offer a front Monosomething for 2WD.
With the 1.5" leveling, will the Bilstein HD work?

I think with the leveling kit you will need the silver and black 5100's.

Stock length shocks will work with the 1.5" lift. Going over 2" will start causing issues with the shocks.

Thanks for the info guys, but I'm getting the same answers here that I'm getting from the manufacturers. Daystar says stock works fine and Bilstein says they do not.

I have ran the stock shocks and now Monroe Reflex without any issues with the Daystar 1.5" lift.

Thanks, if I'd paid attention, would have seen you have the 1.5" as well.

Stock shocks on my 2004 2wd with Daystar two inch leveling kit. It has been like this just over three years, so far, no issues.
