Its just front, you can get a Add-A-Leaf and Chevy Drop Shackle for the back, search around you'll find tons of info.

btw are you a edge or a xlt? its very important you get the correct spindles for your truck since the torsion bar models are different from the coil spring ones

yes, the torsion bar set up you have would require different spindles than a coil spring ranger.
