    The stock front shocks can not be revalved. Only the stock rear. I think the stock shocks would work, but I wouldn`t do anything wild until you get different shocks. What kind of a-arms were you looking at?

    You CAN use your stock front shocks.....BUT.......they are going to be MORE prone to bottom. I would probably go with shocks first and have them valved for your +2 A-arms. They will ride a little harsh, but will not have to worry about them bottoming out on you....I still haven't decided which arms I am going with, but ordered my shocks for +2 since I had my spacers up front anyways....JIM
