And this was his answer.
"I would suggest the drop shocks versus the stock shocks with relocators. The stock shocks are valved very differently and may cause a bouncy ride in the front end of your truck. The street performance lowering shocks are valved stiffer for the best possible ride."

This is true to varying degrees. Does one want a better valved shock that
matches the coils spring-rate & travel? Yes. If it's the matched shock for the coils you have, you could give them a shot.
This is why I like drop spindles as a priority part up front. You get drop that doesn't impact the suspensions travel (extension/compression). The shorter coil does impact the travel. And, the shorter it is, the greater the impact.
