When using a level kit the stock shocks on your truck will top out and over time will eventually ruin them. Not to mention the fact that the stock components are junk any-ways. Whats sad is that most guys don't know, or haven't experienced a good ride in a long time, so they think the stock shocks are worth sticking with. I have had three trucks to date all of which I have change the shocks with in 10k miles. Trust me you will be amazed in the ride difference!!!!
