Front shocks with leveling kit

Hi Everyone,

Im ordered Bilstein 5100 shocks for my 15 F350 6.7. From the factory it has the HD suspension with snowplow prep package. I did put on a readylift 2.5 leveling kit a while back. I had Rancho 9000's on there and want to try Bilstein now as the Ranchos wore out. My question is for the shock length I can go with 2 options, (0-2 lift), or (2-4 Lift). With my Rancho's I did the 2-4 lift option from what they had. I was thinking about this more and wondering if im better to stick with the stock 0-2 shock as I doubt a 1/2in will make much difference. Would I notice a difference in ride quality with the difference in length? I never go off roading. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks

Long as your not bottoming out or extending the shock from wheel drop, there is no difference in shock damping within its stroke.
