Default small lift using standard shocks
Is a day star 1 3/4 or the terra flex 1 1/2 spacer and shackle lit kits. Suitable for use with my new standard Bilstein shocks. I just dont want the factory stock look.

Yep stock shocks should work just fine.When you look at new shocks they always rate em at 0-2" of lift..So you should be all good.

Anything more than 2" of lift, you will need other shocks or at the very least shock extenders (I do not recommend this)
