Default max shock travel for 6.5" lift

Iron rock offroad recommends doesch tech 8000 shocks to reach max flex with their 6.5" critical path long arm lift kit. Now I know that the Bilstein 5100 series shocks ride much better.

What is the max travel you will need with a 6.5" lift?

I found out they use:
Model Extended length Collapsed length
Doetsch Front shocks: DT 8421 32 18.50
Doetsch Rear shocks: DT 8371 29.50 17.00
