Measuring for Shocks

I have a static drop 66 GMC frame with leaf springs that I need to measure for shocks on. In the rear I have removed a few springs, and axle flip, and drop shackles. Right now it is just a bare chassis. Do I need to have all the weight on the rear to measure? If so roughly how much weight should I put on the back to get a close estimate?

In the front I did a 2.5" z plus 3 inch drop springs and 2.5" drop spindle. What shocks do I need for the front.

Any recommendations on which shocks I should use?
Also once I measure how much travel should I have each way?
