Shock Problems. Help

Okay, So I just had a leveling kit installed on my tacoma. I bought new front shocks but I wanted to hold out on buying rear shocks until i saved up a little more to buy 5100s. I was under the impression( and still believe I am right) that the stock shocks would still fit...I only raised the rear end up an inch. I was told my my mechanic that the stock wont fit and then was rushed to order new shocks...I order some bilstien hds cuz I still haven't saved up for the the 5100s. My question is do these shocks or even the stock shocks actually fit? I think my mechanic might be a dumbass...what do you think?

 

Also If I can run the stock shocks should I return the hds? My origonal plan was to buy new tires and then save up for the 5100s. What do ya'll think?

 

Stock shocks should work with a leveling kit, instead of buying the leveling kit you could have purchased all 4 5100's

 

I have 1.5" AAL with the stock bilsteins.
