Default level kit

so i can get a used 2.5" rc front level on craigslist for $50, i originally was planning on buying the rc fron and rea level kit, my main question is, are rear blocks/aal kits on ebay any good? and do i need to get new shocks for the rear level? or will the oem work fine for now?

I don't know about eBay aal but the blocks should be fine. Just a piece of steel. I went 1.5" higher in the back of mine and stock shocks worked fine.

No they arnt blown, atleast they don't feel blown while driving, I just wasn't sure if the OEM shocks would accomadate with the extra height, and its a little bit of both, tryin to level it and get a slight lift for now, so I thought 2.5" in front and maybe like a 1" in back would look pretty nice.

Not trying to highjack, but you could just do a 3" HBS level in the front and be fine right?
