Don't think so. Think the mounts are different, and the length most certainly will be.

Actually, I think the stock size shocks will tolerate up to 3" lift.....

Take a look at what's under there. To be absolutely sure, take one off, compress it all the way, measure it, extend it all the way, measure it. Find I shock thats close, and has the same mounts.

Even the 1.5" level on my truck has the shocks almost maxed out, only about 2" of droop before they bottom out, quite harshly too. For leveled 2wds, pro comp makes an es3000 and es9000 series that should work, these bilsteins should work:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bs...0405/overview/ or anything you can you can find with around a 16-17" extended length and a stem upper mount and eye lower mount.
