Will I need new shocks for this mod?

[Michigander]

Ok.. I have a 95 explorer and I've done the TT and add-a-leaf. I'm about to do the shackles for a bigger rear end. Should I get bigger shocks since I'm going to put the rear even higher from the suspension? Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know?

i don't really know, but i was told that it would help my articulation if i put bigger shocks on after that stuff. i haven't done anything to the x yet, but i plan on it soon. also told to remove the 5th shock to help articulation, but i have a sport and it doesn't have the 5th shock. anyway, i don't think you have to put on bigger shocks, but it helps. that is what it sounded like people were telling me.
