Default Shocks for 10" springs

Right now I'm as low as I possibly could go with stock shocks and 12" springs. I need to throw in a pair of 10" springs. I have no problem with notching the drive shaft tunnel or what ever else it takes. What rear shocks should I get so the springs do not fall out at full droop? Thanks -Tim

why dont you just make a piece to mount the shock lower on the rear end. im sure madman can whip some together real quick for you. and its cheaper than buying new shocks. similar to this (taken from madmans website) but with lower mounts.

That would be how I would do it, just redo the mounts on the rear rather then buying a new shock.

If you can notch the tunnel and weld that back up then redoing the chock brackets probably isn't too much to do.
