for the rear you'll need to buy or fab a kit for relocating the shocks for proper angle of operation// if you take a ruler and measure what your measurements are a good parts guy should b able to give you a set that will work/// most vendors on the board have shocks for lowered trucks as well as the rear relocation kits//you shoul also get the adjustable panhard bar kit so you can center the rear axel

You also might want to get a front end alignment before you do too much driving.
