Ok so I have nearly everything ordered to put the 5/7 drop on my 98 Chevy. The rear kit comes with the shock extensions.....do I need drop shocks for the front? If so, is the Belltech 8006 the correct one?

Id be interested to know what people have used as well. My shocks are SHOT and Im sure its because the stock height ones were left on there. :)

I found out from Arkansas Customs here locally that the 8006 is the one to use and so I bought a pair. Drop goes on tomorrow. I am curious still what parts store shocks people run.

I bought JDM Calmax for the front a few months back, I'll have
to do some digging to find the part number JDM recommended.
