you DONT need new shocks with the spindle lift, but you do with the spacers...you might get away with not buying new ones for the 1.5" level but not the 2" or 2.5".

And if you have an 06-08 I dont think you would need a block for the back. You can buy a set of blocks and ubolts for lifting the rear but I am yet to see a 2wd with 3" spindles that wasnt barely level.

 

i think i might have a little less rake than most because i have a tonneau cover on the rear. with its weight, i think it puts my rear down a little bit to give me less rake. if i could use the 1.5" spacer for now and not have to buy new shocks with keeping my my ride pretty stock, then i would do that for now. if it would degrade my ride without new shocks, then id probably just save up for the spindles. spindles don't seem that much more than spacers and shocks.....is it an easier installation or no?

 

umm some people have an easy install and others not. The spacer install is fairly labor intensive, especially if your bolts are fairly well stuck. I dunno about 1.5" ride quality, as I have the taller spacers
