Lil late to the party but I've done exactly this and yes the front shocks that came in the kit fit. Just installing the RC UCA's, it lifted the front 1". I have plans to do a torsion bar re-index and I'll level it out. I'm doing it mostly because when I bought it, the passenger side front sat lower by 3/4" than the driver side. The rears are close but because of the right side sag it's a lil lower on the right rear also. I also want a little more clearance for the 31's I put on last week. It had 28" tires on factory wheels that were only 6" wide. I may do a small body lift (2") when I'm done but wanna see what it looks like after I do a torsion crank and alignment.
