Do I need new shocks after installing this leveling kit?

Not necessarily. Spacers work with your factory shocks, so you can install and drive immediately. If you're adding 4+ inches total lift or already have high-mileage shocks, that's when a shock upgrade makes sense to maintain ride quality.

Will this affect my truck's ride or handling?

A 2-inch spacer lift is mild enough that most drivers notice no meaningful change in daily ride. Your factory shocks are designed to handle modest front-end height increases. Towing or hauling heavy loads may compress the suspension more noticeably than before.

What tools do I need to install this?

You'll need basic hand tools, a jack, and jack stands. The kit mounts at factory coil spring perches, so installation is straightforward DIY work for anyone comfortable lifting a vehicle. Refer to your service manual for spring removal torque specs and reinstall sequence.
