Bilstein 5100 dilemma

I bought some 5100 shocks for the front. Because I have a 2.5" leaving kit I was thinking that I needed to get ones appropriate for that. But it turns out that the spring pack is installed such that it does not change the stock location for the shock mounts. My question is, will the ones I got work ok? Or should I send these back and get the right ones?

Throw them on there, you'll be fine. I have 2.50 or 2.75 in shackle kit and I've been good.. Spring packs, your good.
