<<<<longer shocks>>>>

What shocks are best for having new torsion keys. ikno that u are supposed to get longer ones but idk which to get or how aboust to find out. most sites dont tell how long they are.

you dont neccessarily have to get longer shocks.... if you want new shocks however you can check out some bilstiens they are real nice.... it all depends on your budget... i am running stock shocks with my leveling kit... and my truck does its fair share of bouncin
(off road get your mind out of the gutter!) the shocks are still fine!

I believe you do need longer shocks. Since yours has torsion bars. Sorry I really can't help you but I did see something somewhere. If I find it I will post it.
TDmopar doesn't your truck since it's a 2500 have a spacer that spaces out the shock also.

Ok I found this. I just copied and paste so don't blame me if it's wrong. I also read that they have the wrong size bushing and sleeves. So you have to press them out and put new ones in. They said it can be a pain. I sent you a PM.
Bilstein 5125 shocks part # BE5-6140-T5 front
Bilstein part #'s: bushings (P/N 98108G) and sleeves (P/N 423730).

I have new lifting torsion keys on my truck and when I hit bumps fast or drop off curbs fast my front shocks top out. You should get new shocks, but I am just waiting till my stock ones go bad or blow... I dont have part numbers but I know there are sites out there where you can choose a vehicle and browse shocks and there are 2+ inch shocks...

my coil spacers basically act as a bigger coil spring.. it make the truck sit 2 inches higher and stretches the shock out so it makes the shock act as if it was constantly being streched out.... prolly not a good thing for it. but i have yet to notice any problems...
