Question best drop shock???

ok well i'm install a 2/4 drop on my truck front/belltec drop springs, rear/drop leafs. and was wondering which drop shock to go with? my mind is kinda set on Belltech Street Performance shocks $60each ...
but are they better shocks performance wise for a lower price out there???
and are the Belltech Street Performance shocks worth the price?

I was under the impression that for a 2/4 drop changing the shocks was "Optional".... because you still would have enought travel....
Ill wait for others to chime in

I like my McGaughy's. They're $60 each. I plan on trying the Street Performance shocks one of these days.
I had Doestch Tech & thought they were too stiff.
