Replacement shock after lowering

Hey guys,
I did a quick search but i didnt find anything. I'm thinking of removing a couple springs to drop the ride height down. i would imagine I'll need a stiffer shock once this is done. does anyone have any suggestions?
1962 Econoline pup.

Thanks

There is not much room for a regular shock once you lower it. I have heard of folks using an industrial shock, like from a forklift.
