Use stock shocks with a stock front suspension. If you changed the ride height by adjusting the torsion bars you haven't altered the suspension geometry, it still extends & compresses just like always, travel is limited by the bump stops and is still the same, so you don't need different length shocks.

It's a high power small block buying double adjustable shocks. Stock shocks will not work.

Some people have done coil spring conversions. Use the search function.
