Lowering Springs and Shocks

Hey guys I have a 1972 C10 SWB I need to replace the shocks on the truck so I figured I would also order some lowering springs. My question is can I just get 2" & 4" lowering springs with new shocks? I have front disk brakes already so dont want to use spindles. The truck already sit low because of worn out springs so I figured a 2/4 would look about what it is now.

Thanks in advance

Re: Lowering Springs and Shocks

Im fixin to drop my truck the same. I was told stock shocks are fine on a 2/4 drop. So just get the normal shocks and drop coils from ece or cpp.
