Struts? Help!

I have a 2006 f150 supercrew 2wd. i leveled it off in the front. Now the strut in front seems like it is really extended and it just doesnt look right or is it even doing its job. My question is if i can replace these struts with ones for a 4wd drive since it looks like the ones for the 4wd are longer and therefore if i put them on my truck they will not be overextended like the stock ones i have. I know that bilstein makes some for a lifted suspension but they are a pretty penny. just looking to see if i have other options. thanks

It will over extend cv's you achieved all you can do for what you wanted. If you want to get more lift keep your 2" leveling on (what type of leveling kit do you have) and add a 3" PA body lift or go to a suspension lift kit.

They shouldn't be overextended. You should be fine. If you want to replace them with the Bilstiens, you can.
