You shouldn't need anything. I'm still on my stock shocks and have had my Hotchkis drop for about 4 years now. They don't handle the best but they still work. What configuration is your truck?

Desertrat.com was the cheapest place I found for Edelbrocks, $275 shipped when I got mine. Doestch Tech shocsks are also good and not quite as expensive. You can get them at http://www.macsspring.com/

After getting mine on - the front is very good with stock shocks but the rear is a little on the stiff side - I spoke with Hotchkis - got a couple emails from a couple folks there - They rec the IAS shocks in the rear - They claim it will soften the rear ride.
Rear shocks with a 4 drop is 34023 - I will order mine thru Summit.
