Can you replace one shock at a time?

Are truck shocks universal?
Shocks aren’t universal in length or fitment. Lifted trucks have longer shocks than factory height trucks. Mount types are another important aspect of buying shocks, assuming an eyelet-to-eyelet shock will work on every application doesn’t hold true.

Should I lift my truck if it’s not 4X4?
Most of the time even when you drive off the pavement you may not need 4WD if you are not doing serious off roading. That’s the truth. That means according to your needs, it’s better to lift and use a 2WD truck than using a 4WD truck that never puts it on 4WD mode.
Is it worth it to lift a 2WD truck?
Yes, it is okay to give your 2WD a lift as this makes it better at driving off the road and probably makes it look and perform better. A truck lifted high off the ground feels more powerful and can take on different off-road challenges.
