 Upgraded meaning longer, heavier duty or...? I know the pains of wanting to do something but replacing something else...I just had to get 3 alignments and put $500 worth of new parts on the front end (upper/lower control arms, rack and pinion, outer tie rods, wheel bearings...) before I got my lift just to make sure it was done right. If you're going to put an add a leaf, or a shackle, the shock will most likely be at its max up travel length and will significantly shorten the lifespan of your new shiny shocks I believe.  I could be wrong, but why chance it? You could always try to sell the shocks on eBay or Craigslist or Facebook and try to recoup some of the money back while getting longer shocks for the rear.


Edit: or, and this may be frowned upon by some, try returning your kyb shocks and use that money on different ones?
