Need help with shock sizes

Need to replace rear shocks on a truck that has a 5 in lowering coil in the rear and 2 in spindle and 1 in coil in front. The rear has relocation brackets if that matters. Thanks

Order 4 front shocks and it will take care of the whole smash, the front hasn't been lowered enough to warrant drop shocks and the rear in theory has been lowered enough plus the mounting relocation that a standard front shock will work perfect, if you doubt it try a front shock on the rear and see if it hooks up.

Thanks!

So 3in in the front is fine with stock shocks?
