Default Leveling kits for torsion??????

I have been looking at a bunch of different torsion key kits. So my question is so of them have the shock bracket and some of them don't. Is the bracket necessary? i have decided to keep the stock shocks for now. So what do you guys that have them recommend?? Thanks.

if you do not replace your front shocks with a longer one they will bottom out over even slight bumps. If you are keeping your stock shocks, get the kit with the relocation brackets...

I found that by the time you buy the kit with brackets, you could have bought the kit w/out brackets, and ordered a new set of longer shocks. I would rather have new shocks than a bracket. bracket is kind of a quick fix.

depending on what you buy. Hamemr will insist you buy rancho or bilstein. They are both an excellent shock, but sometimes the budget doesnt agree. For now im running a superlift shock, 2" longer. ran me $68 OTD @ 4wheelparts. keys= 120 shocks=70 == 190. keys with brackets are running $250 is it?
