Bilstein shocks with a leveling kit

I know there are quite a few threads about which shocks to get, etc.

Based on several people's opinion here, I'm going to go with the Bilstein 5100 shocks.

My simple question is if I have a leveling kit on the front of the truck, will that affect the length of the shaft for the front shocks?

While I'm at it, I'm going to do the steering stabalizer, anything special about choosing that as well?

As always, thanks for the help guys and gals.

Dan

The bilstein 5100 is an adjustable shock I believe.
