Bilstein 5100s

Hey guys I'm new to this forum and I have a couple questions. I've got a 92 Flareside that I'm planning on lifting 04 inches and I'm researching my new shock options. I've done my research and I'm gonna fork up the extra dough and buy Bilstein 5100s. Anyone have any experience with these? My truck has dual shocks up front and I'm wondering if all four front shocks are the same. Meaning, are the shocks forward of the coil different than the shocks aft of the coil? Bilstein has an an auxiliary shock listed to fit my truck and I don't know if I need to purchase a pair of those. Any ideas? The part numbers are as follows:
FRONT: 24-185523
REAR: 24-065276
AUX: 24-186513 --on bilstein website it notes "for front lifted height 4in" & "front mounting position" that's why I'm unsure if I need to order 02 fronts and 02 aux.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Pete

I thought the AUX one was for the steering dampener? Don't hold me to it though.

CALL a Bilstein dealer.

Also the Aux shocks are NOT steering stabilizers
