Save yourself some time later and also get a set of moog fully adjustable bushings, for 2wd I used K80109. Video Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C59ZDQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 at amazon with free shipping, these have the biggest range (-4 to +4),Set them to "true zero" and install, put you springs in, then take it to a shop and just get an alignment printout Go home and match the printout to the graph that comes with it, pop the bushings out, set them per the graph and install. As for shocks I went with monroe sensa trac with the coil over shock, they are load assisting so my theory is that they will keep the spring from being compressed as far as it normally would, thus adding a little extra height. I've got the 5.8 and with 20psi in my rear shocks the truck sit's about 3/4" of level, with no air in rear the front sits 1/4" higher. Before After: with about 30 psi in the rear, I was still dialing it in. I think with stock style rear shocks it would be very close to level (within 1/4")
Don't mean to switch the subject, but how do you like the Monroe Sensatrac shocks? I was debating them for mine as well, how do they ride?
