Default Leveling Kit

So, I want to get a leveling kit to clear 33's on my truck. I will have it professionally installed. I was looking at JC Whitney Auto Parts & Auto Accessories - Car, Truck, Jeep, Motorcycle, VW, RV & ATV - Aftermarket Parts & Accessories, and they give great discounts, so I'm going to order from there. But, I have a few questions.

First, Tuff Country Suspension Torsion Key Front Leveling Kit - JCWhitney this is the leveling kit I was looking to get.

Now, I need to know. With that kit, do I need to raise the back too to clear 33s? If so, I was looking to get this Rough Country Suspension ADD-A-LEAF KITS - JCWhitney add a leaf kit for the back. Are the add a leafs necessary, or should I be able to clear 33s without them?

Finally, I was looking to grab these Rough Country Suspension NITRO 9000 GAS SHOCKS - JCWhitney shocks to go with it.

So, can anyone help me out?

you can fit 33s at stock height on stock rims no problem...you don't need the add a leaf for the back that's just a personal preference to put some rake back into the teuck

So if I just buy the leveling kit, I can fit 33s and still get rid of the rake and add a little bit of height? Also, would you suggest the new shocks?

if you buy just the levelin kit yes you can fit 33s and make the front sit the same height as the back...and if I were you I'd get some shocks. I did..went with bilstein 5100s after a lot of research
