Skyjacker Hyrdo 7000's on stock height

[GET_ARMED]

Hey guys. I am looking to soften the ride on my 03 2500 for my wife and soon to be arriving little man and saw a good price for the Skyjacker Hydro 7000's or 8000's. On Autoanything, I can't select no lift. I know my truck is a a little jacked up anyway from the factory but would I be considered the 3.5" to 5" lift or 4" to 4.5". This is my first truck. Otherwise I would select 0" to 2". Any ideas on the shock quality or recommendations for a softer ride. I have also been looking at the Bilstein 5100's. Any help and input would be appricated.

Problem with using lifted spec shocks on stock height is that even if they fit the shock will be near full compression already, so when you hit a bump it will be very stiff and most likely wear out and push the rod through the top.

As far as 5100's go, I have used them on a truck and they were softer than stock in my opinion.
