A 1" drop coil changes the compression distance ~1-2". You should be fine w/stock length shocks. Would it bottom out before? Tell us more about your set-up (wheel & tire size, etc...). Pics would help as well.

Having used some of their products on my 55 Chevy sedan, I'm done with them. Know that "C" really stands for "Chinese". Maybe CPP = Chinese Product Proliferation.

I agree with the belltech drop shock. I changed my stock shocks to belltech and the tide is some much smother.
