Iam looking to lower my 1985 king cab 2wd. Iam going to lower the front by cranking the torsion bars. The back iam going to use 4inch lowering blocks. Iam going to run 185/65R14 tires on stock ST rims. I need help figering out what shocks to run. Ive been told i can use ford pinto shocks but not sure. does anyone know were i can get the shocks i need for a decent price. I know that i can buy toxic shocks from jegs for $37.95 but dont realy wont to pay that much if i dont have to.

For the front you could use regular monroe shocks, for the rear I don't know.
