Keep in mind that when you crank the torsion bars, it has no bearing on the amount of travel you have. It only changes the relative position of rest within the range of motion you already had, so the same shocks that you had originally are what you need now up front.

I can't speak for everyone, but I haven't gone away from the stock rear shock configuration either. I'd say that you can run new rear shocks of the same configuration in the rear, as well. Find a parts house that sells KYBs and get a set for all four corners. You'll be happy you did.
