you won't need longer shocks with a body lift, if that's what you are referring too. adding a leveling kit will stiffen the ride up some and increase wear on the front suspension.

As stated, Body lift does not require shocks. If you replaced your rear 2.5" bump stop blocks for 3" ones, you wont need new shocks unless they are shot.

no body lift. 3 in lift blocks in the rear and a leveling kit for the front. the truck has 18,000, of 90% highway miles. no new shocks needed. i just want any surprises when i go to the shop for install.

You are just swapping your blocks right? No stacking.
