shocks?

I have a 1975 Ford F100 2wd Short bed. I just lowered it using lowering shackles and brackets in the back and cut the springs and bent the I-beams in the front. it is about 4" lower in the back and 3" in the front. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can still use the stock shocks or need to get shorter ones, and if I need shorter ones where can I get them, what brand. kind of having trouble finding shorter ones. the length as it sits is 14" long in the front for shock and back is 15" long for shock at ride height. any information could help.
