    '86 18 inch wheels I don't really care for. Dropped enough that my tires rub on almost every bump

    Im looking at doing a 6 inch drop in the rear with belltech drop springs and 3 inch lowering block. and 5 inch in the front with bj flip, drop spindles and torsions. my question is what kind of shocks would i be able to run? i was looking at the belltech shocks but it says they are only good for a 3 inch drop? i anyone could let me know what kind of shocks i should run with the suspension setup listed above it would be very much appreciated.

    Lowering via drop block doesnt affect the shock length. Seeing as you want to do drop leafs + block youre effectively lowering it 6" but only shortening the shock length by 3" because of the leaf mount being moved

    you can shop around too, I found all of the specification charts provided by major companies to find shocks that were right that didn't necessarily pop up on "this fits your vehicle" lists.
