Default Bilstein shocks for 2/4 drop?

When it comes to shocks, I'm Bilstein through and through. But I don't see any shocks that they make for dropped trucks, they all indicate stock height. Will their stock height shocks work with a 2/4 drop? I guess the other option would be Belltech street performance shocks, they have good reviews on here.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I have not decided if I'm doing spindles or springs in the front, or hangars or leafs in the rear. The rear already has 2" drop shackles.

I've never seen any drop shocks made by Bilstein either, but I went with the Belltech Street performance shocks and I'm satisfied with them. They are much more forgiving than the DT's I had before...

For the front use shocks for a stock OBS 1/2 ton. They are shorter.
