which shock to keep

im putting a 4" lift on my truck. shackle flipping the rear and coils up front. my buddies telling me that i only need one of the two shocks on my front axel--do i keep the one infront of my coil spring or the rear one? or do i keep both on it. its an asphalt rig for now, used for playing in the mud some of the time

I would run both if it were me.

The one in front will have more say than the one in back. Purely because of the front one having more leverage, but it probably isn't enough to even notice.
