Go to www.Lorenzindustries.com, they have awesome deals on bilstein shocks front and rear. Bilstein claims they shocks will be fine with stock ride height, and I dont see any major problems. You should go ahead and do a leveling kit while you are at it though, since eveerything will be apart then. I am doing one soon, just waiting on timing and money. 
Good luck.

This seems to be a popular leveling kit for the best price. Ebay also has them for pretty reasoanble prices too.

I like these:

They look the same, but are $10+ cheaper and from a place that makes/sells many different lift kits and not metal art.
Actually, they probably make the ones that Hellbent sells.
Plus for $3 more you can get the 3 inch kit instead of the 2 inch kit.

I believe if you only go with 2" then you don't need to lift the rear, the truck will sit level. If you go high then yes you would have to lift the rear. Some people add bigger blocks, add a leaf or others go with new leaf packs which is probably the best option.

Right now on ebay, they have 2" leveling kits straight from Top Gunz for $79.99 with free shipping, and the auction ends in 22 hours. The next auctions are set at $109.99, so if you are in the market, act fast. That is the best deal I have seen for Top Gunz leveling kits.
