Droping my 64' Help

New to this, so plz take it easy on me.
Yesterday, I cut 1.5 coil off the front, now do I need lowered shocks? if so, 2 or 3" lowered shock? Sway bar? Where can I buy if so?

Im installing Jeep springs for the rear, What kind of shocks do I need? Shock relocators? where can I get some, or can I relocate mine?
Any particular vendors that are favorable or can I use the local Auto parts for these shocks and whatnots?

Any, or all help appreciated. First time with zero help doing this, thx again!
-Dan

Re: Droping my 64' Help

from what I have been told each coil is about 2 inches so I would say 3 inch lowered shocks. I don't know if you need a lowered sway bar or not. For both of these Questions I would call CPP they can tell you what you need as far as shocks and sway bars are concerned. I don't know about the jeep coils. Maybe someone will chime in to tell you how much they lower the rear and then you can tell the people at cpp and they can send you the correct shocks. I don't think you will need shock relocators for the rear.

As far as the rear, with just a TJ spring drop, you can use a KYB off the shelf or similar.
