Will this kit work with my existing shocks?

Your OEM shocks may not provide adequate support at the new ride height. Test-fit the kit first, then assess whether replacement shocks are needed to maintain ride quality and control.

Do I need alignment after installation?

Yes. Any suspension lift changes your caster and camber angles. A wheel alignment is necessary to prevent uneven tire wear and maintain handling.

Can I install this myself?

The kit uses factory mounting points and is designed for DIY installation with standard hand tools. If you're comfortable working with suspension, you can handle it. Otherwise, plan on shop labor.
