Mild spring drop- shocks and driveline?

I'm considering using 2" shorter springs front and rear on my '72 longbed. Will I be able to keep the stock shocks? Will the driveshaft(s) need to be altered?
Thanks!

Re: Mild spring drop- shocks and driveline?

You should be fine. I lowered the back of mine way more than that, but the front I lowered with 2" springs and kept stock shocks. 2" isn't any more than loading the bed up in the rear, so GTG.
