Do I need 5100s if i install a .75 inch block?

I just bought 275 65 18 duratracs and I'm waiting for them to come in. I have the 3 leaf pack and was thinking about installing a .75 inch block in the rear. If i do this will i need to buy new shocks or will the stock ones still be fine? Im buying them for the front and want to know if I need to buy all 4 or just the front ones because Im wanting the shocks to arrive when the tires do.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I need to order the block today for it to arrive on time if I need it

 

I would and use the 0.85 setting, it would look good and would be almost level.

 

I would just buy all 4 at once. It will make it ride way better but to answer your question you can run the stock shocks but its recommended to run longer shocks depending on what you really are doing. If your offroading alot then i would definatly get longer shocks. As a mall crawler you can probably get away with the stock shocks.

Cruising around town doesn't necessarily compress or extend the suspension enough to worry. However (to the OP), if you keep the stock shocks....you might want to take notices to how much down travel you have left in the shocks and 'take notice' to bottoming out on extension.

 

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. What made me wonder about keeping the stock ones was....if people get the tsb done they don't get new rear shocks right? If they don't I would be lifting it about the same as the tsb would in the rear and keeping the stock shocks like they are.
