    okay. i am getting belltechs lowering leafs and drop spindles. But i am not sure which shocks would be better to get. The street performance shocks seems to appear better for handling and performance, but would they still be fine with a dropped truck. Compared to the nitro drop 2 shocks which are made specifically for dropped trucks. opinions

    If built right you can do both. My Drop leafs and air shocks allow for both. Handles well and will carry a load a load when needed.

    Well you won't need shorter shocks for spindles or blocks, but the drop leafs would technically require them, even though you could get away with stock length.
