Drop Shocks or Not?

Do I need to get different shocks if I'm going with Drop Spindles in the front and a flip kit in the rear?? Also If I do need them in the rear do I need special ones for leaf suspension?

If all you are doing is drop spindles in the front you shouldn't need dropped shocks, it's not changing the suspension, as for the rear, not sure.
