I am not sure on the 4x2s, but I know the '02-'05 torsion front 4x4s need right at 2.25" to sit level and need shocks IF DOING ANY OFF-ROADING. Some get by fine with the stock shocks as long as they don't do the pothole or speed bump thing too fast, LOL...

It'll keep it even, I've got a 2" on mine and it is still a bit nose-down. As for shocks, I kept the stock ones and the car still rides the same. But no worry that youll be higher in the front than the back, thats only if you raise the front like 4-5" more than the back.
