Im pretty sure stock shocks work with up to 3 or 4 inch drop.

Re: Jeep springs in the rear of a 65 C10

When I put my jeep springs in the back of my 64 and later switched to 4"drop springs I've used the same shocks with no problems. I noticed more if a difference with the 4"drop springs then the jeep springs. Some people have talked about getting a noticeable amount of drop from jeeps I didn't. FYI and that's why I switched to true drop springs.
