1.5" BL + Downey HD shackles + Shocks???

ok, please someone point me in the right direction. I have a 91' 4x4 std cab v6. I'm looking at doing a 4crawler 1.5" BL, Downey HD shackles, crank the torsion bars. Now at this time I'm ready to replace my shocks and from the research I want to go with Skyjacker shocks. Now my question...

Should I go with the shock that is rated for "0 - 2 inches" of lift or do I need the "3 - 4 inches" of lift?

Sorry a newb here. I understand that the torsion bars and shackles will yield approximately 1.5" inches of lift and this points me to the "0 - 2 inch" range, as I don't include the BL into the shock formula. I just want to make sure that I'm looking at this correctly before ordering.

Thanks

I have the 0-2 in Skyjackers and they have plenty of travel. I was woried they would top out early but they definetly don't with the 1.5" lift.

That's what I thought but I'm spending money without sleeping so I need a second opinion before I hit those submit buttons.
