Default Leveling kit, shocks, and tire size

Hey guys i am wanting to get a 2.5" leveling kit from hell bent steel, and i am wondering if i will need to get new shocks after this? If so what do you guys use? And third of all i am running 245-75's will it look too ridicules if i leave that tire size for a while before my current tires need replacing?

here is the link to the hell bent steel leveling kit im looking at.

New tires and shocks. 2.5 in the front the will be at the max all the time and it will be one hell of a ride.

A good set of shocks will make it ride nice. I have some procomp 9000's w/ 2.5 inches up front and it rides smoother than when the truck was new.
