If you want the kit then yeah it the right time for it its apart if its a diy project. But only takes a shop a extra 5 mins each side to add in if you go that route. i would purchase all the stuff myself reguardless cheaper as you know. bilinstiens possibly!

Level it then get you a set of Bilstein 5100's, specifically made for leveled and lifted trucks. About the best shock you can buy at any price...

I've got the Rancho RS9000Xs, the XLs replaced them. Great shock!
Mine were a freebie deal when I bought the Rancho lift, which saved me about $350 off their list price.
But I think the Bilsteins are a better shock, not a lot better, but better.

If I was gonna buy, it'd been the 5100s. You WON'T regret getting them...
