07 Shock question

I just ordered the 2" roush drop springs and i was wondering if it was necessary to change out the front shocks. If it is can you take out the bar pin and install in an aftermarket shock like the doetsch shocks?? The truck is a 2007 Mazda B2300.

I have stock shocks on my 03 xlt 2wd Ranger super cab. I installed the Roush 2 inch drop springs. and have no problems. I did cut about 1 inch off of the bumpstops. frame needed just a little clearance for a better ride

My $0.02..
I would get matching shocks so you have the correct rebound and travel length.

I am not a suspension specialist.
