Don't know which spring rate you should go with to get the drop you want. There are plenty of vendors who have springs which will drop the front of your truck the amount you want. I've heard a few people use the stock shocks with lowering springs, but I think it depends on how low the springs are. If they are only 1" drop springs, you should be able to get away with the stock shocks. Anything more than that, it may be a good idea to buy some aftermarket shocks, for example QA1's. Dropping the truck won't affect your track times all that much, either good or bad.
