Choosing shocks and coils

I have ordered 2.5" spindles and a 5" flip kit for my 84. I forgot to order 1" coil springs and new shocks for all the way around. Can anyone recommend new shocks and springs. The spindles and flip kit are western chassis. I was going to order summit brand springs but realized they were for 3" drop.

We have always had good luck with the McGaughys products. Let us know if we can help.

How do I determine which shocks I need for the rear. I know stock length works up front but not sure how to determine which ones will work on the rear with the flip kit

Measure the distance between shock points at ride height, then I can help you determine the rest. Usually around a 11" compressed to 18" extended works well when you have shock relocators.
