u can get the 3" or 4" blocks for the rear and keep your stock shocks in the rear you will have to cut your bump stops in the rear if you put the 4" blocks in the rear. If you back the torsion bolt out 8 full turns it will drop the front 3 inches if you buy the lowering torsion key you can drop 3"-6" in the front but you will have to remove your front cvs if you want to go further than 3 inches. yes in the front you will have to replace the front shocks when you drop more than 3" also. i have 3/4 currently but after my new keys come in it will be 6/7. and yes mine is a 4x4
