What drop shocks are you using?

Looking for a good set, chime in with what you got.

So, would I order the fronts according to the coil drop and not for the 2.5" spindle if I have a 4.5" total drop?
Also, are just the drop shocks enough for the rear, or are relocators needed? I'm looking at doing a 4 to 5" lowering at the rear.

Iv'e got KYB's, 4" drop in rear. Get the shock relocaters other wise they will be about useless.

Would it the ECE relocator kit work with rear leaf suspension?

I don't have leafs, but the impression I get is just flip the rear end and use shocks for a 4 -5" drop. Ask the folks at ECE, they'll talk to you.
