Default coil spacers

Don't need shocks unless you want to improve the handling.

Guess it really depends on what your trying to do with your rig... Leveling kit or BB won't gain you anything in offroad performance, but a coil lift with shocks will. It will allow more travel and flex. Also, I asked TF about the coils for they're 2.5" coil lift (keeping stock shocks) and they are not cheap, so with that being said, you might as well get the full package with shocks. (IMO)....

TF will sell you the coils for $239.99 a pair, but I do get your point. It just amazes me how much $$ just the coils are.

I don't know what you mean by over extend the shocks. The shocks limit the flex in stock form already when off road.
