What shocks for 4in dropped leaf springs?

Wandered around the forum a bit but couldn't find the precise answer to two questions.

1. Assuming a stock shock wont work, what shock do I need for 4in Performance Online dropped springs?
2. Do I need to relocate shock hangers?

What kind of truck are we talking about? Intended use as well.

Do they offer a shock that compliments the springs?

That was pretty dumb on my part not to post you what kind of truck! Truck is 69 C10 has 255/60R15 tires. and will be use only for pleasure driving. I could find a specific shock in the the Performance Online catalog. If I called they might have one. I read on a number of posts that a Monroe 32207 might work.

All the rest of the suspension being the same/stock, a quality entry-level shock like the RCD Bilstein for lowered applications would probably be the way to go. The performance Online guys seem to have a pretty good selection; you should give them a buzz.
