Yes you can use the 9000's , in fact they are an better shock. Most will be able to compensate for the lift as the 9000's are. I  ALTHOUGH, would use a little caution is raising the truck on a lift. If you have the truck too high the gravity will pull the shocks down farther then they are designed to go and at times pop.  I had this issue  one my gen 1 when I would let someone rotate the tires. They would raise the truck to the damm ceiling to do an undercarriage inspection , pop the shocks and have to buy me a new one . Every time they did this and I would even tell them. I have since made sure I have the time to rotate them myself despite being it was free.

One note:  PML stands for "poor mans lift" and refers generally to the gen one. Where you can spend 50bucks on a pair of shackles and twist the torsion bars for the leveling . So its a poor mans lift.
