Default Which Bilstein 5100s for 2.5" lift??

Im hoping that one of the ones Summit has in stock will work for me but they have a long list of possible applications which seem to vary a low.
Does anyone know the part numbers for the shocks I will need for a 2.5" lift? Summit has the Rubicon Express kit in stock which doesnt include shocks so if I can find shocks I can lift it this weekend.

or I can go with the teraflex kit using spacers for now and their own branded shocks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but these should work.

Bilstein JK 07-12, Front 5100 Series Gas Shock, 1.5 inch - 3 inch Lift - 24-146708
Bilstein JK 07-12, Rear 5100 Series Gas Shock, 2 inch Lift - 24-146715

Those are the right numbers and can be cross-referenced into Summit's catalog of a million parts. The best way to do shocks though is to measure your range of motion with and without the coils to determine the full compressed and extended lengths you'll be able to use.

I can tell you that the 2" rears listed above are a little short for your 2.5" kit. I've got them on my jeep with a 1" level kit all the way around and they do not extend nearly as much as the front 1-3's do when I remove them from the lower brackets.
