Default shock question on 2/4 drop

With a 2/4 drop, can I still run my factory stock length shocks? I have ride-control and have solenoids on my shocks and would like to keep them. Also, will I be able to put air bag "helper springs" on the rear with Hotchkis 4" drop leaves? I would like to straighten out my "chevy lean".

I don't see why not, Im still running them on my LCA/ Shackle And Hanger drop and the ride is good. Im about to change out the rear shocks for a little stiffer ride.

When I got my hotchkis kit I didn't change out my shocks at first. It was a rough ride. They were too soft and I bottomed out the backend a couple times. I got my edelbrock IAS shocks and it is a big difference. They ride better and haven't bottomed out once.
