Default best shocks

i just lowered my truck witha mcaughys 4/6 springs and spindles in the front, and a flip kit and notch in the rear.... problem is im running on stock shocks... which dosnt do anything... b/c im riding on the bottom of the shock sitting still. so i was wondering what the best performance shock would be that would still be dailydriveable... b/c afterall this is my dd. i do want to gain a little bit of handleing and weight transfer gains.

doetsch tech shocks here on my 4/7. I LOVE them. Many of the lowered guys run them. Look through this thread. The part numbers for the front shocks are in the first post. Somebody else added new rear part numbers in a following post.

I have 4 Streetperformance shocks going on this weekend, I hope they are at least half as good as I hear they are!

That's good news, the ride with 17's should be much less demand on them too.
