I've got a similar build 3.5" RE springs + 1.5" spacers, bastard packs with 1.5" shackles.

No drop brackets, fixed lowers that are length proper (I think 16 3/4") but I can't recall for sure. There are charts all over NAXJA for it.

As for shocks, the way they'll limit droop is by being too short. You want bumpstops to limit travel before the shocks do. I can't see how you'd get different flex from brand to brand.
