Default 1.7 Rocker arm question

I looked all over this forum about the 1.7 rockers, and I couldnt find the answer to my question. I have a stock ram 1500 5.2 with a hollowed cat and a straight pipe on it. My question is can I put the 1.7 rockers on with no mods done to my truck, no motor work has been done to it and I would like too, I saw this was the best way to get power later would come headers and a 14x3 filter. If someone could help me out I would apprecate. Can I put 1.7 rockers in my stock motor?

Where do you recommend buying them from, and the price of them?

What other mods would you do if you were doing the rockers?

The only ones that work with stock are Harland Sharp rockers.

Here is my post on the install. There are no instructions on how to install included in the kit. Go off of others installations.

just be sure to check that the factory stock valve springs will not bind due to the increased ratio rockers.
