2wd shocks

Has anyone used Bilsteins OEM replacement shocks on a 2wd Cummins? How do they work? They list them as the same part number for 2wd half tons as for a 3/4 ton diesel. I would guess the physical dimensions could be the same, but I would think the dampening requirements would be substantially different between these applications. Are there any shocks out there that are specifically designed for 2wd Dodge pickups with a Cummins?
