Haha, Yeah! Not sure if I want to do 37's or 35's ... Do you think I need new shocks? Or would the stock shocks be just fine?

The lift comes with new rear shocks. The front shocks are reused, but are fine. You can always add the adjustable Bilstein 5100s to the front if you want something new. I have them and really like them.
