Question 87 b2200 suspension

Hey guys,

I'm new here, recently picked up an '87 b2200 that'll be my rolling project for the next couple years. I've always wanted a budget mini truck, and here i am. I have a lot of mechanical experience, but working on hydraulic systems from my time in the service. So i'll be learning as i go, and i'm stoked. So here is my first question.

I plan on lowering my truck, as well as replacing all the bushings in the process. That being said, many of the lowering kits i come across dont have or mention anything about replacing the shocks in the front. Is this something you'd recommend doing, or are there any kits you recommend using? I dont have a set price range, just an overall budget. But budgets are meant to be broken, right?

There are shocks available that are made to be a better fit for lowered trucks. You may have to do some research online.
