You are correct. We have different length shocks, for the different lifts. If you have a 5.5 lift, or 5.5 kit shocks should work, as long as you have the stock shock mounts. Otherwise, we would measure from mount to mount, with the weight on the vehicle, for a resting height length. Also, take note of how each shock mounts, as there are eye/eye versions, and stud/eye. The kits for 5.5 uses #'s Bil88118 and Bil88123.
