Will this work with my factory suspension and shocks?

This kit mounts to factory pickup points and works with stock geometry. Your existing shocks will handle the change, but inspect them for wear before installing — older shocks may need replacement if they're already soft.

What hardware do I need to install this?

Mounting hardware spec not confirmed in the product data. Request a detailed parts list from the supplier before ordering to make sure you have the right fasteners and torque specs on hand.

Does the carbon steel need to be painted or sealed?

Carbon steel will oxidize and rust if left bare. Plan to paint or coat it before installation — refer to your vehicle's service manual for recommended suspension paint products that won't flake under flex and movement.
