    I've found brand new off-road front and rear shocks for $200. I want to put them on my 2017 sport.
    Is that possible if I also want to add a 2.5-3" lift? Just the blocks that are added above the shocks.
    Do I also need new springs?
    I'm trying to make a smoother ride for dumpy roads and rocky terrain. The sport shocks suck.

    Welcome to the forum :hattip:

    Replacing your 2017 shocks with brand new ones for $200 sounds like a good deal if you can do the work. The Off Road has a softer shock than the Sport.

    Lifting the truck opens the door to a lot of potential problems if done haphazardly, stock height is pretty capable.
