Default Cranked Torions Bars to Level...Shocks?

So,
I have a 2003 4x4 quad cab, and i cranked the torsion bars to level it out....after which I got the truck aligned. I'm looking into getting new shocks for it, but my question is will stock height shocks still work well since I leveled it? Also, any suggestions for best brand shocks?
I wanted the bilstein 5100's but since its an 03' found out that wouldn't work....

Next time please do a search before asking your question because this has been answered a number of times. In a nutshell, yes you can use stock shocks but you will bottom out very easily and make the ride harsh as hell. For longer shocks you have 2 options: get shock extenders which is the cheapest route OR get 2 inch longer shocks that are a better brand than the OEM ones which is the safest and best route in my opinion.

I put a set of rough country nitro shocks on mine when i leveled it and it included longer shocks up front to compensate. I have been pleasantly surprised with the ride and handling. Wish i had leveled long ago.
