Lowered Dually Shocks

I need a set of shocks (front and rear) on my dually. Dropped 6” up front (3” spindle, 3” spring) and 9” in the rear (8” on the flip, 1” on the shackle).

I never did find the right shocks for this thing. Anybody have a shock they recommend? Preferably something available from a parts house like Napa. Shoot me a part number.

i heard you can use stock front shocks on the back if it's lowered but i can't remember how much drop they work with.
