I have already swapped out the stock g-body spindles for stock Blazer spindles. I am considering swapping in dropped spindles, can I still use the stock sized shocks? Or would I need to use a shorter, drop shock? I am using Hotchkis springs front and rear on the car.

Your shocks would not need to be changed. The drop spindle simply moves the hub assembly in relation to the balljoints. This can make the wheel tight on the lower control arm/balljoint, depending on what you are running. Also, the drop spindles are said to increase the track width by 1/2" per side (1" wider total) over stock.

Thanks, will keep the track width info in mind.
