The longer shocks will only be needed IF you put coil spacers in is the point X.
Not entirely true based upon application and type/brand. i.g. TTB/TIB front suspension with coil leveling kits. 2" can use stock shocks. There is no increase of travel. Daystar is very clear bout this as is a few other companies.
Another example numerous manufactures from the likes of Bilstien, Fox, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, SACHS, RADFLO, and a few others have various shocks for applications ranging from mostly 0.00" -3.00" MAX in some cases and are recommended from stock to 3" of lift in some vehicles indicating that compression and rebound strokes are different ranges in which you think the shock for a 3" lift would be too long for a stock suspension and vice versa. There is some leeway in some cases.
Properly measuring full compression and droop in all four corners as if you were corner-weighting the truck would be best in matching shocks for the OP with those measurements being key in getting the most of your dollar if you will. Otherwise, throwing randomness could cause some longer but short term damage and or not allow you to get the most out of the suspension itself.
I am curious as to what the OP was fully interested in doing as (S)He seemed to leave out some pertinent information for anything short of presumptions.
