Default shocks for a levelled suspension

Hi Guys

I need some help.

The truck's a 2003 1500 ST 4.7L 4X4.

I changed the torsion keys (tuff country) to level the vehicle but neglected to change the front shocks. I didn't think that I would need to but now I know otherwise... Front end bangs pretty loud on bumps or holes. I have no idea what the stock shock size is, but I know that after installing the new keys I need something longer.

Anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Record Breaker

I'm definitely interested in Bilstein, but I need guidance on the size needed. I tried referring to their website but didn't seem to find any tech help...

If you have any ideas I'd sure appreciate it.

Cheers!

IIRC, it's been a while, but I think you are looking for the 5100 for 2"-4" lift with Bilstein.

Also, you won't find them listed for the 1500, just the 2500+, I believe.
