Unless the shock mounting locations or bump stop locations are moved/changed stock length shocks work fine. The suspension stops compressing at the stops whether you have stock springs or shorter ones. With a mild drop shorter shocks can even worsen the ride by limiting droop. Not allowing the suspension to easily follow the terrain.

Little more on my experience on a dropped truck. My 94 was dropped 6" in the front, 8" in the back, drove it like that for many years. Front had 2.5" Belltech spindles and cut 2 drop Eibach springs. Dropped springs alter the camber curve and will increase the tire wear on the back side of tire. 15-20k on tires max..
