    no, changing shocks will do nothing for your ride height...."drop" shocks are usually shorter to fit in the shorter area from installing shorter springs...too prevent bottoming out of the shock or fully collapsing the shock fully. (no travel of shock)

    Springs determine ride height.

    Try the magazine trick and some heat on the fender to get the roll/pull you need. Or change tires.

    69 camaro shocks use the same PN as these trucks. No real advantage unless that specific shock you get is guaranteed to be valved different
