shock question

I have a '68 SWB with 3.5" drop in front (spindle and spring) and 5" drop in the rear (spring only). Question is - What shocks do I need? I believe the front could use standard shock but the rear I don't know.
Thanks

Re: shock question

yes you should be ok on the front with stock ones// on the rear you'll need a shorter shock plus a shock relocater to get a proper ride angle

Re: shock question

Yeah, I've got the shock relocators installed but how do you find a shorter shock?
