I put a leveling kit with 20" wheels and 35" tires on my truck a few weeks ago and was just wondering if anything needs to be done with the shocks after leveling the front end? Do I need longer shocks for the front?

Not needed, but a decent set would help the ride.

Seems like Bilsteins are the odds on favorite here?

I love my Bilstein 5100's! Definitely worth the money.

Just curious, did you change the track bar?
If not, how far off center is the axle?
(been thinking of a leveling kit myself)

Doesn't appear to be much off center, but I'm no suspension expert. Honestly not sure what the point of leveling it would be without running larger tires - I don't know that I could tell the difference between a truck with the kit and one without.

It's a good idea...
The stock shocks are junk, and put the same on the rear as you do the front...

Price_Dog

Do you need to buy the longer Bilstein shocks, or just the "stock" replacements from Bilstein?

megacabdad

I think the front are longer to compensate for the lift...

And the rear shock stay the same.

Put the two side by side and you can definitely tell the difference right away.
