Shock question

I have a 2"drop spindle and a 1" drop spring. Will the stock length shocks be ok or do I need new shocks? Where is the best place to get them if I need them?

The stock length shock will work just fine. I've got 2" spindles and 2" springs and I have no problems. I highly recommend KYB shocks. When the search function works again, look up "shocks" and "kyb". I wrote some info on one of the posts a while back.
