What kind of shocks are they? You may be able to find a much better deal to rebuild them. Also since they're rebuild able you can likely get them re valved for your use. You may have better shocks than all of us put together!
If you have blocks then you probably have the original leafs. Could it be as simple as getting a new overload? Did they remove the spring perches for the overloads?
How much lift? It's not quite as easy as finding some new front springs if you have a full suspension lift over like 3-4". Several different front end parts are made for the lift. Pitman and idler arm, say bar end links on both axles. May have extended brake lines now. Plus it's a project to swap yourself or spend even more $ to have. A shop do it.
Time to see a couple pics of your monster truck!
A shot of how the rear is set up with the bags would be helpful to help you make sure you're getting the right gear.
Good luck with your new found project!
Solid axle trucks don't have idler arms. Unless you mean a drag link...I've heard people call them that before, don't know why but idler arms are on IFS trucks.
Grit has a point it can be more parts, OP has stated he is on stock size tires so if it is some 6-8" lift (doubt it, how could he even get a TC on it?) I wonder if the truck has more than a 2-" lift. You can stuff 35" tires under those stock..
PICS are needed.
