Anytime you use shorter springs in the rear on coil trucks, you'll benefit from the shock 'relocators' as they will restore travel length for the shock & return it to a better (more upright) angle allowing the shock to 'work' properly.

That being said, it's not mandatory to use the relocators. You can always do the drop & see how things work as is (measure the travel dimensions @ ride height). If the dimensions indicate the need to change the shock travel, get the relocators then.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
