Lowered the front of the '81 C10 chassis 2" with drop springs and 3" with spindles.

The 2" drop make enough difference that the standard shock bottom out? What have others experienced with this.

I know that there is lowering shocks but the cost is so much more. Is it really required? Went to O'Reillys today and they couldn't find another shock in the book that would have a shorter compression than the 10" of the OEM shock.
