Default level kits, again.

i know theres been a number of posts on this subject, but can't seem to find the right information. getting mixed information... or maybe my ignorance... i want to level my 02 ram. 4x4, of course. found some cheap options for torsion keys on ebay... others throughout the net. keep going back to the truxx kit. has the shock relocation brackets. does this mean i can keep my stock height shocks? or, can anyone tell me for sure, if i can keep my stock height shocks, or if i need 2" longer ones.
my options are tuff country, $120 bucks or so...
or truxx w/ the brackets, for about $190 ish (i think)

can anyone shed some light! rams rule!

Some people have leveled without having to change shocks without any relocation. I know if you just crank the t-bars up you will not need shocks, as I've done this to a couple of friends trucks. I also know some have leveled and "bottomed out" off road and had to get longer shocks.
But to answer you're question, yes the relocation brackets are supposed to keep you from having to buy shocks...

Thanks guys. This is exactly what i'm looking for. Much appreciated!

(Most installation sheets don't say anything specific to shocks, been down that road. )

Thanks again... Ram on!!!
