Need new Shocks!

Hey guys, I just recently put a leveling kit and aal on my truck. I need longer front shocks due to the lift. I need to know where to look for lift shocks for my truck. I would like to have bilstiens, but don't know if they make an extended shock for my truck. If someone (Wandell) could tell me who to call or website to visit would be greatly appreciated.

BTW 2000 2wd 3" lift front , 1.5" lift back

A lot of aftermarket shocks are slightly different lengths than oem. If you can find a site that list them by lenght you should be able to find some that are slightly longer.
Also, try contacting your leveling kit manufacturer and see if they have a certain shock they recommend.

Yeah I thought that too, until i got to putting the truck back together. The shocks are about an 1 to 2 inches to short. I had one come loose on a recent camping trip deep in the national forest, so i thought upgrading to a longer shock might be beneficial.
