No you don't "need" any of that. The stock gearing will still work fine. You can also get an inline speedo adjustment kit from places like 589 Fabrication for about $170. The inline kit will let you adjust to whatever size tire you charge to without having to pay for another tune every time you change tire size.

i guarantee once you drive it and it settles u only get 5/8” of lift. all you did was space the struts down. that doesn’t effect preload or anything. if i jack my truck up and set it down right now it will look like i got a 4” lift. also do yourself a favor and jack up you’re truck so the front wheels are off the ground and check for cv binding. also the way suspension is setup all you’re bump stop locations aren’t correct anymore. i always tell people never do spacer lifts. they are cheap for a reason. buy nice or buy twice.
