google National Tire an Wheel, find some shocks and they will have different lengths for lift heights.

look here Lift Kits, Leveling Kits, and Shock Absorbers - Suspension System Specialists! - Top Gun Customz
call them and tell them what you have and they will send you the right shock. While Bilstiens are great, you can pick up 4 (Rough country)Nitros for the price of two bilstiens.... Im just sayin, if money is tight.

Not true. most IFS has torsion bar and shocks, a strut is just a coilspring and shock all in 1.

Still not true. Strut is totally different than a shock. Struts get very high side loads as they are part of the suspension that does turning and locates the wheel/spindle.
Used in place of an upper control arm. There are more stout bearing/bushings in a strut to handle the side loads.
shocks just go up and down.
