3" drop spindles - shock question

[terrellautosports]

i just picked up a set of 3" drop spindles. i am needing to know if i can use stock length shocks or if i need to get some for a drop.

stocks are fine..... only if springs are changed do the shocks need to be matched

I was told (and I think I read in the instructions) you will need drop shocks for drop spindle installs.

thanks guys.

i am uncertain what you need to do. i have read that you only need shock with drop springs. and also read shocks with drop spindles.

i am confused

[dznucks]

the drop spindles are moving the spindle, rotor, caliper and tires, up. they arent changing the locations of the shock mounts. drop spindles may limit the compression of the shock due to the tire rubbing on the fender and it will take more travel to get the truck back to stock height, ie. if you have bags and drop spindles.

if you are running drop spindles and springs you should be good with stock shocks.
