Do I need shocks?

I'd recommend getting an alignment after install regardless. I didn't touch the cam bolts or tie rods during install other than unbolting the tie rods from the knuckle, and measured before/after heights to get mine close but definitely need to get it in and aligned in the next week or two. Just putting some miles on them now to break in and fine tune the ride height (driver's side has settled about 1/2" lower than pass side after about 300 miles, with them both set at the same 8 turns down from how they shipped). That said, since the height is basically the same as before I swapped them the alignment is not far off.

I read somewhere (maybe here or online somewhere) that you have to adjust the driver side 1/2" higher than the passenger side due to the gas tank. Not sure if this is true. But I do have the 38 gallon tank.

I didn’t have to touch cam bolts either, not necessary.

Stock springs account for this, they are side specific. If reusing then ok. With the adjustable coil overs that is correct, will need to adjust to compensate.

A little too expansive for me at the moment but they look nice!
