Stock ride height shocks will work just fine with a 1.5 kit.

So Rancho, or Monroe stock ride height shocks will work just fine.

Hope that answers your question.

Shock length will not change due to a body lift or a 1.5" leveling kit. I run Monroe sensatracks all around. No body lift, but I do have a 2.5" leveling kit and 1.5" rear helper springs. You probably should go with rancho if you are rough on it.
