Shock Recommendation/Question

I have a 77 chassis with a 58 Apache body on it. Front has a 5” drop with spindles and drop springs. Rear has a flip kit (4 leaf springs) and possibly going to do shackles depending on the stance.

I’ve read that your drop shock is dependent on geometry change. So for the front it would be 3” from the spring since the spindle doesn’t change geometry simply moves the wheel up. On the rear I’m going to run a shock extender to allow for a longer shock as well. So would a 4-6” rear drop shock work and a front 3-5” drop shock? Looking for something driver quality that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Thanks.
