Default bilstein shocks for tortion bar leveling job

So I have read a number of posts on the bilstein shocks that do the leveling job for you..that is not what i want. I have already leveled my truck 2.5 inches with using the tortion bar bolts under my 04 quad cab 4x4. I have also read someone saying to just get the 2500 front shocks as they are about 2 inches longer than the 1500 ones. That is all fine and dandy but my question to that would be...wouldnt the 2500 shocks be valved differently due to the heavier suspension and not give as good of a ride on a 1500? Does anyone actually know a part # for a bilstein shock for this application. Any help would be appreciated.
