Front drop shocks
 
I have done a search and can not come up with what I am looking for. I have 3" drop springs on the front of my 68 c10 6" rear drop springs. I would like to know what Monroe shocks will fit the front with a 3" drop? I am putting Monroe air shocks in the rear so if I want to haul anything I won't be dragging. If anyone has used a different brand of shocks except special drop shocks I can cross the numbers to Monroe's. Thank you in advance.

No one? Someone has to have a dropped front end.

Are you just trying to save money on the fronts? Why not just drop shocks?

Here's a link to Monroe shocks working lengths and specs. I guess you could measure the distance between upper & lower shock mounts and get the right shock for your truck. The GMC I bought recently has dropped spindles on the front but I'm not sure how much drop. It's kinda bouncy and I think new shocks would help.

I want the same brand of shock all the way around. As I said in the above post I'm using Monroe air shocks for the rear. Also all the drop shocks I have seen do not have a dust cover they are open rod style. I want a shock with a dust cover and matching brand as the rears. Thank you
