Your ride wont be stiffer no more than the man in the moon. Same springs, right? same ride quality. All you did was space them up a little bit.

Unless your truck has shocks that have a comfort zone and control zones. Then it will ride like a tank since you've moved the resting position into one of the control zones.

Common sense would dictate that new shocks are needed.
