I put a 2 1/2" level on mine three years ago. Still on the OEM shocks. Unless your shocks are bad, they'll be fine.

Nope. All you should get is an alignment.

Mine still has a slight rake. Not as severe, but still there.

When I do my level in a few months I am going with Bilstein. I have 80k on the truck and don't know if the person before me changed them so I'm probably going to do that, and they are not expensive
