Lowered front shocks

I've searched and can't find the right front shocks for my lowered 3 inches leaf spring 56 f100. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank, Rick

I changed my front end to IFS several years ago, but before that I ran a 3" dropped axle front suspension. I was buying shocks both locally and through such vendors as CJ Moss and Speedway. Good luck!

If you haven't changed the bump stops there really shouldn't be any need to change shocks .
