I agree if your running stock. I plan on lowering it about 1-2 inches.

I am not sure what the correct length of the shocks would be extended and compressed, but I suspect all of these you listed would fall into the range of suspension movement. Often times shocks have more than one application, which is why they may have slightly different specifications depending on the model.
FWIW, I run Bisltein 24014960 and 24014953 and both have enough travel to allow the suspension to full compress and extend without reaching the limits of the shocks.

Vince, is that front and back or front only with a shock change?

Those are the front and rear part numbers (actually I think I listed the rear and then front). Bilstien does make a "comfort" version of this shock too, but I wanted the heavy duty.
