Is this enough shock travel? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did my western chassis 4/6 drop last year. The kit came with 4 doetsch-tech shocks for this drop. The front was suppose to consist of 2.5 spindles and 1.5 western springs. The 1.5 springs were no longer offered so I installed Belltech 2'' springs. I wonder if that extra .5'' drop is too much for the front doetsch-tech shocks which were made for the drop?

The front of the truck is extremely harsh over bumpy roads. Unfortunately, that is the majority of the roads I travel besides the highway. In the pic above, is that enough shock travel? I wonder if I need an even shorter shock OR if Doetsch-Tech just aren't the answer for a smooth ride?
