Shock install question for the board

Just lowered my truck with 2.5" spindles and 1.5" ridetech lowering springs. I have ridetech shocks to install. Got the truck back on the ground and went to install the front shocks but the shocks are about 1/4" too short to fit on both shock studs. I am pretty sure I can jack up the rear and compress the front enough to get the shock on but I worry that the shocks will be overextended since they are too short to fit at normal ride height. Am I thinking about this the wrong way? This is the first time I have replaced shocks so wasn't really sure what to expect. I was assuming I would have had to compress the front shock some to get it on at ride height.
