ehh not really... no...well, not the ones I'm sure you're looking at anyway. Say you lifted your truck 2-4 inches by some means (other than a body lift), you would need longer shocks because your stock ones are no longer long enough to handle being at full droop (w/o breaking internally). Make sense?

No shocks DO NOT add lift to your truck. There are bigger shocks, but they will only fit lifted trucks. The only way a new set of shocks would lift your truck is if your stockers are so beyond blown that they are fully compressed 24/7.. then putting new ones on will raise it like an inch maybe

Neither are torsion bar tweeks actually -- but some of us in the 2WD community use them anyway.
