1) Your shocks should be long enough just to run as a temp,just dont flex it or you may break a shock. They have to be long enough for the suspensions full travel, and its got more than 2" of drop to it stock.

2) Installing blocks is easy, undo the u bolts and add em in, put the new longer u-bolts back in, you may not even have to take the shocks off teh axle (no big dual if you do)

3) The torsion key swap is easy to do as well if you have the tools, 2 hrs MAX. Just be safe and think about what your doing. I would personally save the $100 and spend it on new shocks!
