    2/4 Drop-- Shorter or Stock Shocks

    Ok, i want to put a 2/4 drop on my truck after the first of the year, and ive decided that im going to use the McGuathys kit with the front spindles for 17+ wheels and rear shackles and hangers, as i want the truck to keep the ride quality as close to factory as i can get it, and i figure keeping the stock springs will do that.

    So my main question is about the shocks, i want to upgrade to the Edelbrock shocks, but would i be better off using the ones for a stock height, or the ones they sell for a 2/4 drop?

    Im thinking the drop shocks will help control the lowered suspension alittle better, but want to get some other opinions on the subject first.

    I also will be installed some 20" SS Chrome wheels and 305/50 tires at the same time, if that will make any differance.

    on the front you will run stock length shocks. on the back run shocks for a 4" drop.
