Sorry about the delay, been busy at work. But good research, by the way! At least that information is out there for anyone else wanting to do the same thing.
I have my Ranchos installed on a regular cab stepside. Upon looking it up, your 2 door should take the same part numbers (RS7152's and RS7190's respectively).
The choice is up to you if you decide longer shocks or lower your ride height. Lower ride height is usually better for steering components and aligning.
I'm not saying the Bilstein tech is wrong, but I've never witnessed CV binds on our particular trucks at full drop on stock suspension. Should the front become airborne whether by off road conditions or even an emergency maneuver, I think GM would account for that by their welded stops. This is solely my opinion, I'm not trying to bias you one way or another! Just sharing what makes sense to me.
If you can jack up the front of your truck by frame somewhere, like between the control arms or behind the front wheel and still be able to rotate your wheels freely, that should answer your bind question. You can also check rotation with your steering lock-to-lock for maximum angle torture test.
Again, not trying to persuade. If you need a wheel alignment anyway, now is the time to adjust your ride height.
The first GMT400 I lifted, I maxed out against those said metal stops. The truck rode terribly harsh. There was no downward motion possible, bad CV angles, torn CV boots, bad upper control arm geometry, and long-term I would have had accelerated upper ball joint wear. I would never lift a truck like that again, and probably express my concern if I saw someone else do it. Haha.
Your pictures you uploaded don't look to me like they'd cause that kind of problem.
