Default help with shocks

i got a 2001 f150 2wd with 2" rough country coil springs. my stock shocks are fully maxed out and was wondering if anybody has suggestions for shocks seeing as i cant find one company that makes shocks for a 2" lift.

thanks

check out bilstein's they are great and i think they make a shock for a 3 inch lift, which should be ok for your 2 inch lift also
