if it were me, depending on how often you actual drive the truck, or at least for a temporary cheap solution, id look for some coil spring spacers.
Or if that option doesn't sit well with you, no pun intemded lol, the company id probably look at is koni or eibach and see what they can do.
belltech is another. Detroit Eaton is said to do custom springs.

Three of the four fit perfectly on my truck; passenger side front, on a hard left turn, will barely rub. So I don't turn to lock to the left *grins*
And that may be fixed by replacing the 30 year old front springs on my truck; I just can't be arsed to worry about it.
So to recap - you can try them, they should fit OK. Just be aware of the possibility of rubbing on a hard turn.
Oh - and due to the shocks being over 40,000 miles of rough highway, a hard enough bump and my driver's side tire will hit the inner fender; I could avoid that by using a taller suspension snubber in the truck, replacing my shocks (which I need to do anyway, just been Too Darn Hawt! to do around here), and avoiding those hard dips (hard to do when you're doing 75MPH and hit a lobblolly in the road ... )

It doesn't bottom out where it used to.
So keep that in mind.
Again, if you're doing a suspension rebuild from ground zero, you may want to do new springs in the front ALSO; that'd help I'm 100% certain.
(And if my fat **** wasn't 352 pounds, THAT'D help ...

The two are NOT exclusive!
With better rebound, the truck isn't bottoming out, so it didn't rub like it was doing on the driver's side.
That had nothing to do with ride height, though.
