    :meemee:Hey guys I'm thinking to lower my truck about "3". in the front I will crank the torsion bars and in the back by adding blocks . Now my question is do I need to change the shocks for a different size or I can still use the same ? I replaced the shocks about 6 months ago so I think they still good . Thank you
