Just Spindles???

I have been doing alot of research on the spindles and have 5 or 6 places to get them from. My problems is...some places have the spindles alone (around $295-470), and then some have the whole 3"-3.5" spindle system for between $580-800. Do I need the shocks, Cam alignment, add-a-leaf etc. I really just want the spindles by themselves and 2" blocks.....trying to be cost effective and keep stock ride. Any help is appreciated.....
I really want to get my truck done so I can post pics

The point of lift spindleds are that they leave your stock suspension feel. You do not need new shocks cuz the entire front end is in the same position except that now the tire mounts lower on the spindle. In the rear if you use 2" blocks then you will probably need new shocks and then as a result will probably get them for the front. A 1" block would ne enough and in my case I didn't even tought the rear and like that the front is a little higher. The truck pretty much looks stock thopugh. If you do the coil and new arm then you need new shocks as well.
