I am dropping my 69 GMC with 2 1/2 spindles in front and 4 in coils in the back. What do I need for shocks?

the front shouln't change and the springs aren't being changed.

for the rear you will need a shorter shock. the best way to know is to put the new springs on, and see the compressed height for the shock mounts, and jack it up and measure the extended length. then you can go from there
