BEAT BEAT BEAT on the dead horse.

I spent the last 40 minutes reading a lot of informative information
about shocks on the archives but couldn't find a definitive answer to
the question I have.

Im installing 27x8.5R14 and thinking about the vancafe 2wd lift springs
to get a little more clearance for desert/trail driving in texas. Now
the question is will stock replacement shocks, ie bilstein HDs handle
the added height of the vehicle? I heard something about ranchos that
fit but couldn't find it in the archives.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
