Shock length for 2inch lift

Recently bought a 94 pickup with a 2inch lift. Shocks they had on it are pretty worn out so looking to upgrade. Thinking kyb monomax since i can get a set on rockauto.com for $220 shipped. anyone have recommendations on length for these? I see a lot of shocks rated for stock suspension but it's hit or miss finding something for a truck with a lift. Any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated. I attached a picture of the truck as well Thanks

Just get some RS500s. I'm assuming it's just got the BJ spacers with a block or shackle in the rear?

Here's the part # to the rancho shocks:RS5167

everything I found on that part number says it's for a Suzuki Samurai? Also I've heard bad things about rancho shocks

You measure distance between to shock mount with bottom shock mount at both full compression and full droop. Figure out mount shock mount style. Use whatever brand shock you want to run's catalog to select part number and order from favorite vendor.

If you know old whocks are correct size. Use whatever brand shock you want to run's catalog to select part number and order from favorite vendor.

or pick a brand of shocks that caters to matching vehicle to lift height and part number. Order those shocks from favorite vendor.

Unless the shock mounts were moved or modified in the front, you only need stock length shocks. Longer ones will probably bottom out before full suspension compression is reached.
