Shocks for 4" Drop Leaf Springs

What shocks do you guys suggest I use for my 71 long bed when I install my 4" drop mono leafs and the 1" lowering shackles? Are they different than coil spring shocks? After searching endlessly, I cant find shock re-locators for leafs. Is that going to be an issue?

I am using 3" lowering springs in the front. What about shocks on that end?

I live in the mountains of north GA with a bunch of great curvy roads. I am installing front and rear swaybars. Just want it to handle good for me.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Jeff

Some guys have rotated the upper shock mounts from side to side but I just drilled out the rear hole and mounted a new stud to get the shock in a more upright position.
