Default 2/4 lowered ride question

Been awhile since I've posted, just have a quick q: what do you guys run for shocks? I've got the bell tech street performance shocks and I knew the ride was going to be rougher after I dropped my 2001 ram (2/4 drop) but I didn't think it was supposed to beat me to death. Any suggestions?

I haven't cut the bump stops yet and I think that might be the culprit.

The shop that lowered it when I took it back for some maintenance; I asked them about cutting the bump stops, and they said if I cut them any more, I'd be hitting the exhaust (part of the maintenance was to re-weld hangars for the rear tailpipes; both had broken since lowering, the ride is so rough) So I guess this is something I might have to try and do myself, just wish I had a better place to do it. On top of that, I figured out why the driver's side front tire was rubbing on big bumps, coil springs are collapsing...they put spring spacers in and I don't rub now...just sucks after sinking all this money into it to have to spend more and not really improving ride quality. Guess I just gotta vent every now and then, sorry for the rant.
