Nice one 4.7ram.
I've got the procomp ES9000's as well.
I'm looking forward to putting them on when I get home after my vacation.
Cheers for the info. Makes me feel a lot better about the swap now.

Well....I junked the Bilsteins and fitted the Procomps yesterday. For me....the ride is like night and day!
Despite many people saying (Bilstein included) that the model shock I was using for a 2" torsion bar tweak/level was correct.....they weren't!
Now with a shock that has the correct "travel" on it...the ride is super smooth and not jarring the fillings out of my mouth anymore.
I took pics of my lower bushings and posted onto several forums as to why they seemed distorted and being pulled out of the lower shock Eye. I now know why
Even sent them to Bilstein Technical for their appraisal. Got nowhere with that one?? 
Bilstein product support is total CRAP!!! So much so, that I'd never recommend their shocks ever again. That's both Bilstein Europe and Bilstein US. They had my money but did not want to support their product.
Anyway....just an update and to say I'm very pleased with the advice Ken gave me at 4Wheel parts, down in Orlando Florida. Glad I picked the Procomps.
