If I want to put a 2.5 or 3" level on, do I have to change my shocks?

Nope. Go with the 2.5" level though. 3" is hard on the CV angles and other front end components.

Unless your a 2WD then you don't have CV shafts to worry about

I am 2wd. Does that mean I could go with 3" without worry

I was just about to put a leveling kit, I was wondering if the 2.5 leveling kits fits 35s ? My brother and I got his 35 under my stock f-150 but only rubbed a lil

a 3 inch level puts too much angle on the steering components. just wears them out faster
