OK, here's a little bit on "little."
My WAG on the force it takes to compress a Bilstein or OME shock to install it is about 100 lbs.
IIRC, they have half-inch diameter studs; if the nitrogen pressure inside a shock is 150psi, this force should be close to 120 lbs.
Expedition Exchange doesn't seem to have spring table on the revised website - but my 2nd WAG is the medium-duty springs have a rate of about 200lb/in - so installing a stock-replacement Bilstein or OME shock will net you close to half an inch.
It may be enough for a previously quiet truck to exhibit moderate driveline vibrations.
