Default LS6 rockers on 5.3 do I need anything else

Im just wondering if I put the LS6 rockers on my truck do I need anything else? Would putting the LS6 pushrods on change anything or am I ok with the stock ones? Thanks

There wouldnt be any gains. Unless the ls6 rockers weigh less and even then it is negligible. If you are paying for the rockers it is definately not worth the money. Only with a higher ratio rocker will you see gains because it increases the lift.
