Bilstein Shock Question

I have to replace my shocks (122,000) on originals! I want to go with Bilsteins. I am going to be installing a 2.5" leveling kit on the front at some point in the future. That with the dually rear is giving me a hard time finding the part #'s. These are for the dually but not sure if they will have the travel for the front.
Can anyone tell me if these are the right parts numbers?
Thanks!!

Jim, you're going to kick yourself for not doing this sooner. I waited about that long before I replaced my factory shocks (with Monroe's). It took me 3 months to get over the fact I waited that long. It will feel like your riding in a caddy with the new shocks.

This one is MUCH needed. I had to look at a job way out in the woods down an old logging road, customer wants power on the site, and my truck rode like crap.I have been looking at the shock for the past 6 months and saying "yup I gotta replace them" I'll have to post pics of what my ols ones look lkie tommorow.

I don't know what kind of leveling kit you are looking into getting.

But, if you get something like a mini spring pack that goes under the front spring then the stock application shocks would be fine since eye to eye measurement isn't changed.
Bilstein 5100 - 0"-1" Front Application - 1999-2004 Superduty 4wd - 5100 Series (Stock Applications) - Truck Toyz Store

If you went with something like a 2.5" hanger and shackle setup....you'd want something like these, for that:

Bilstein 5100 - 1"-3" Front Lift Application - 1999-2004 Superduty 4wd - 5100 Series (Lifted Applications) - Truck Toyz Store

Just going with the mini 2 inch leaf pack on the front to level things out. I should be ok with that right? Just might order from you?

Yep, 2" mini pack mounts under the stock leaf pack so the eye to eye distance for the shock is unchanged from stock.
