What shocks for a 4/6 drop

[Longley428]

I'm in the process of lowering my 69 c10 and using the 4/6 spring kit from hotchkis, what shocks do I need for this? Also in the rear I will be adding a 2" lowering block as well

[Longley428]

Also will I “need" an adjustable track bar as well on the rear?

Bump? Anyone?

I have a 4/7 on my leaf spring flip and I ran front shocks all around. KYB G2 from Rock Auto. I re-drilled the upper mount to get the shock a little more vertical. Can't help on track bar as I don't have one.

Thanks for the reply! Ok I will check those out, I finished up with installing the front springs tonight, and noticed with the truck jacked up on the frame and suspension is at full droop the new springs are loose/wiggle around when the control arms fall down. Is this normal with lowering springs? Again I just have oem shocks on the truck. I hope this isn't a dumb question, just want to make sure everything is correct. Would shorter drop shocks help with controlling th droop not be as far?

Yes, it's normal. That's how the truck gets lower is the spring is much shorter. I would search for "lowering shocks" on the top of the page. Type in the bar and just the button for 67-72chevytrucks.com as I would hate to steer you wrong on the rear shocks for a coil sprung truck.

But with 2 1/2" spindles and 2" lowering springs, stock shocks on my truck work fine.
