Default Which length shock

Ok so I found adapters online that will let me use these shocks, but I don't know which length to get for 0-2inches of lift...

Here's the link to the adapters im pretty sure they'll work

I could be wrong though... I was thinking these shocks would work up front 0-2inches of lift

If you just cranked up your torsion bars, you don't need shocks for a lifted truck. You aren't extending your wheel travel like a lift would.

Oh I know I dont need the lifted shocks, but to buy these shocks I can't put in my vehicle info cause I'm gonna use an adapter to use them, and they have a list of this shock in different lengths, I just need to know what length is stock.

He was showing you the extended and compressed lengths. Look under the video link.
Those lengths are what you would need for OEM so adjust to fit your needs.
