You don't have to change anything, but you might want to look into a little bit longer of a shock. Otherwise you can just throw them on and be done. Shouldn't take more than and hour or two.

The 3" spacers wont work well with an offroad package 1500. They have 2" taller springs than a regular 1500, throw a 3" spacer on it and you basically have 5" of lift on stock control arms, trac bar, and steering. To run that combo you should be using all the parts from a 5" kit.

Good catch, V10sport is right. I missed that it was an offroad! Sorry.

You could probably get away with a 1 or 2 inch from TGC though not the best but should work

block, add a leaf, new springs, shackle flip, etc. theres several ways, it just kind of depends on how much money and what you wanna do with the truck.
