So I've seen different opinions on whether the front needs new shocks after a 4" spindle lift, do I need to grab some, can I keep the old ones on or should I replace with just new stock shocks?

The rear is sitting on 2" blocks right now and I'm going to replace the shackles to add either 1" or 2, what are some suggested places to look for those shocks? I've looked at summit and suspension connection but haven't found anything for up to 4" rear shocks

Thanks in advance, I don't wanna keep maxed out shocks on there if I need to replace

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

Spindles don't require new/longer shocks.

Here's some for the rear:
