Default 2/4 Drop Shocks

I'm about to do a 2/4 drop (Western Chassis) and I was wondering what would be the best shocks that I could get for the money.

I personally like the Doetsch shocks! They are specially made for any lowered fullsize truck. Hear nothing but good thins about them.

I have Toxic shocks and they're ok. I had Edelbrock's and in order for them to fit and work properly you have to have shock extenders. Consequently I can't recommend Edelbrock's.

Most 2/4 kits require a shock extender. It's to correct the angle of the shock.

My B-Tech NitroActives ride pretty well.

No shock extenders on mine either.
