Yes they are safe.
You can still use the stock shocks and save money (plus retain the stock
soft ride).
The most important is to get a budjet boost kit that has the bump-stop
extensions. 2" for the back and 1.5" for the front. And be sure that they
will be installed.

For bar pin eliminators you can make a simple check though to be sure that
they will function ok.
They must relocate the one end of the shock (compress the shock) for the
same length as that of the bump-stop extension spacer used in that axle. If
this is verified ok, then you have nothing to worry about.

Why doesn't the front use the 2" extended bump stops as well like the
rear?

I found extended bump stops that are good for 2.5" to 4" lift kits.
Will these work with a 2" or a 2.25" spacer lift kit since neither of
these is quite 2.5"?
