hey bro. Id go just to see your truck. sweet ride. I our trucks are similar base models, except I have the 6.5 bed. I didnt originally want the longer bed, but I've grown into it. It makes it a bigger truck.

 

Support the truck on the frame towards the rear. Remove old U-bolts. Lower rear axle about a 1/2". Pull out the stock block. Raise axle to meet leaf springs. Install new U-bolts. Lower truck and enjoy.

I think you would be okay on shocks if it's just for a show. It sounds like some work but if you'r getting ready for a show you'll be putting in way more work than that anyway.

 

Heres another mod I just added yesterday...
