question on rear shocks, after flip kit

[radar1]

I have a 85 GMC short bed. So far I have purchased a lot of parts to get the look that I am after. So here is the list: 3 inch Bell tech spindles, rear flip kit, and I have a set of Cal-trac traction bars on order. My plan is to cut one coil on the front springs, install the drop spindles, and flip the rear. So far it all sounds like I am OK. But what I am a little lost on is the rear shocks. I thought I read on this forum at one time, that after the flip you could run the front shocks on the rear. I guess what I am asking is what options, other than drop shocks, is everyone using?
