4" rear drop - shock questions

I'm going to be purchasing some classic performance 4" drop springs for my '70 C/10.

I have a couple questions:

1) What size shocks should I purchase? Not looking to break the bank here, but want some decent shocks. Any suggestions are appreciated.

2) Do I need shock relocation mounts with the 4" drop?

Thanks for the help.

Re: 4" rear drop - shock questions

I would do the shock relocators and the adjustable track bar. I prefer the longer track bars as they lower the roll center and improve the handling. I have run several sets of shocks and right now running the Belltech street performance shocks and really like them.

So with the relocators, I'm just running the stock sized shocks, correct?

Re: 4" rear drop - shock questions

No you run a shorter drop shock. What the relocators do is correct the shock angle so the shocks work like they should.
