Question Shocks for the 2" level kits?

Is there a shock available, that is 2" longer than stock shocks? I know they are not needed, but I want a longer shock.

When selecting shocks be sure you accurately calculate the length needed for maximum axle travel. Your shock collapsed length should be slightly shorter than needed when the axle is at full articlation with flattened bump stop. You don't want to bottom out the shock if you flatten the bump stop.

BE5-6681-H5 front, 2"longer

i looked into getting a 2 " longer shock for the rear, but no listing for them.
these are the replacement shocks for the 2500 series Rams, from Bilstein
