Default Where to get longer shocks?

Where are you guys getting longer shocks for your leveling kits? Specifically 06-08 ram 1500's. Ive tried summit and 4wheel parts and not sure they are giving me the exact shock i need. A link would be great, thanks a lot.
A 2'' longer shock shock should be perfect.

shockwarehouse.com you tell them how much lift you've added they'll give you a part number off their database.
But 4 Wheel Parts should easily be able to tell you, they do lifts everyday.

Call them. I sent someone else there and they couldn't find any on there website either. They called them and they did carry some. Just know the brand and how much lift you want them for when you call.

06-08 1500 level kits are a spacer that sits on top of the coil over/strut assembly therefore a longer shock isn't needed since the spring and the shock are both relocated down 2.5". http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/st...medium=organic

Mine didn't need new shocks on a 2 1/2" level kit. Still have the OEMs at 99K.
