Hi, I got 3" leveling kit on my 06 4x4, 5.7, I just installed struts and monroe reflex shocks, they fitted fine and feel no problems with the 35" m/t. Hope this help.

Mine's a 4x2. When my level kit went on I had an alignment done. New shocks four years later. Never had a problem with topping out on the OEM shocks.

You should have just ordered Bilstein 5100s or Rancho Quick lift struts to begin with. They give you 2 inches of lift and new, better struts in one
