2" add-a-leaf

I ordered a 2" lift rear add-a-leaf for my '05 5.4 F250. Do I need to replace the shocks to accomodate the 2" of lift? Thanks.

I've looked, but can't find anything saying that the shocks need to be replaced. I ordered 2" lift coils for the front from Skyjacker also, and the site that I ordered the springs from didn't say that I needed to replace the shocks. I did a little research before ordering the springs and I found that I would need to replace the front shocks for the 2" of lift. I can't find anything that talks about replacing the rear shocks, but I thought someone in here could tell me for sure.

Probably not.. 2 more inches is just a half inch more than stock F350s.
