do i need new shocks??

I have a 2001 ford ranger edge 4x4 with the four inch superlift and i was wondering if i put 3 inch lift keys and add a leaf in the back would i need new shocks and if so what kind would be the best for it?

Yes new shocks.....and then new tires cause you can't get an alignment, plus new cv shafts, new tie rods, new ball joints, etc. This is from the keys, don't get them. They also ride like ****. Just do the superlift and a 3in bodylift and you're golden. tons run this combo.
