You could go with the BE5-6135-T5 which are made for a 6" lift and then get a set of extended lower shock mounts from Cognito. Or you can go to a BE5-6252-H5 which has an extended length of 21.5" but is an eye/eye type of fitting. If you go that route you can pickup an adapter that allows the use of an eye type of shock mount to a pin type of vehicle mount. Also, with this shock you will need 4 bushings Part #98108G and 4 sleeves Part #423730. These are available from Bilstein or one of their dealers. Hope this helps.

These would be the shocks we use: http://www.norcaltruck.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=2_21_367&products_id=990

You have a 6" lift, just because you have it set at 7" doesn't mean you need a longer shock. The over all travel has never changed. All you did is decrease your drop out travel.
