depends of what amount of add-a-leaf ur using..

its its a 1-2" kit, then no..

but if its 2.5-3" then i would recommend a track bar bracket to help correct the offset front axle you'll end up with otherwise.

From what I gather, some of the 2.5-3" ones offer a track bar relocation bracket and some offer an adjustable track bar.

yes...

dont expect your old shocks to have enuf extension to allow for the additional hiehgt, and then also have room to flex throu the suspension movement aswell..
