Okay so I pulled the trigger on a 3 inch level kit im the front and 2 inch bump in the back with the use of an extra block... am I going to need new front shocks?, back shocks? Etc?

You're going to need a lot of parts in the front as the 3" level will wear them out extremely fast. I hope you're not 4wd as that's worse since you'd be going through cv joints all the time.

You really shouldn't go past about 2" (2.5" max) up front to keep your suspension angles safe.

The rear will need longer shocks.

What do you mean by 2" bump in the back with an extra block? You should also never stack blocks in the rear, if that's what you meant.

Did you ever get it installed? How's it riding? How are the angles looking?
