Default 2" longer shocks for 1500 4x4

Looked all over and can't find any shocks 2" longer than stock, planning to crank my t-bars soon. Any places I could get these in Canada or order online for a good price?
Again this is for an 03 1500 4x4

4 Wheel Parts has a database to cross reference part numbers for the amount of lift on your vehicle.
Call 'em up and they can give you the proper shock in any one of a few brands. Unless they added a new part number, I do not believe the Rancho 9000 shock is available at 2" over stock, just stock and 4" over.

I know they have ProComp ES3000, ES9000 and MX6 models for 2" of lift and the ES series were all "buy 3 get 1 free" not too long ago...

Rancho makes a shock designed for our trucks with torsion bar leveling kits.

That's the 5000 series, a very good shock, just not adjustable like the 9000 series...

What would be the most cost effective option for a daily driver/weekend warrior offroad truck?

Pro Comp ES9000s at around $38 each. If you can catch the "buy 3, get 1" sale, that would bring it down to $28.50 a shock. Otherwise the Rancho 5000s at around $50 each...

To get into a shock that would be noticeably better, you're talking Rancho 9000s or Bilsteins which would run you up around $90 per...
