Rear spring and shock help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am switching my 6 inch drop springs and drop shocks out. I would like something that gives me better weight transfer out of the hole for drag racing.I have seen the posts about using the Jeep rear coils and am looking for a set.What are ppl using for shocks,would the Rancho rears work and if so does anyone have a part number model that fits the 67 Chev short box, Thanks for the help.

I just want to lower my 63 as cheap as possible. I read somewhere on here that you can use rear coil springs from a Jeep. But I never saw any replies as to what Jeep to look under. Thx...OTR
