Default Best shocks on the cheap?

I've got to buy some new shocks for my reg. cab, and I'm looking at either Belltech or DJM. Which one performs better? Should I try a different brand like KYB? I just don't want to break my wallet on Edelbrock's.

Also, I have a question on shackles. I'd heard that Groundforce makes a taller shackle that would drop the rear more than a Belltech would. Is this true? I'm talking about the 2" shackles of course. Any input?

So I'd be better off with the KYB's compared to the Belltechs?
