lowering questions

[j.rigby15r]

So I'm planning on dropping my 64 c10 lwb. I've got some jeep springs for the rear and plan on cutting the front to match, no more than 1.5 coils. I've read all about using this method and know about the pros and cons. My question is this will I need/have to put new socks on, if so what do you recommend. I'm not wanting to put a whole lot into this right now as this is a temp as I save up for bags. Second is their anything else I will need to do when I drop it beside get it alignment? Meaning shock relocation or suspension stuff. Thanks in advance.
