    I had a 3 to 1 leveling kit installed, but putting 2 inch block on rear. Do I need to upgrade my rear shocks or will the stock shocks be fine? Plus I want to keep using the stock rw wheels. Plan on putting 285/75r17 or 315/70r17 falken wildpeak atw3 tires on them. I would also like to have a more aggressive stance, so wondering if I should go with 1.25" wheel spacers or bigger? Can add fender flares also if needed. Thanks for all the help that I can get.

    You can get away with the stock shocks in the rear for normal day use, but if you're doing any good offroading I would upgrade, especially if they're the original ones. Im running stock with 2" block, no issues, but plans for upgrade soon. Boss 4x4s makes some great ones. The spacers are fine, get hub centric ones and work them into your normal maintenance routine to check them out. Maybe instead of block for the rear look into a shackle. Rides better than a block, less chance of axle wrap too. 415s would be perfect, even 37s Haha. Rw wheels are perfect

    @Berdine is right, shackle > block, and you're probably ok with stock length rear shocks as long as you don't articulate the suspension a lot. You likely won't *need* wheel spacers for 285s or even 315s to clear the UCA, but if it's an aesthetics thing then that's a different issue. Using spacers with 285/75s on a 3" level you should get away with no trimming and probably not even have to remove the mud flaps. Adding spacers and going with 315/70s you're probably looking at a CMC, trimming the skid plate, and removing the sway bar.
