as the titles says

my 04 silverado has 2" Eibach drop springs in the front and western chassis 3" drop leaf springs in the rear with a 1" drop shackle (yeah i bought it this way)

any way truck rides like CRAP! before i start dropping my $$$ in stock parts to drop it again like to know what shocks i can try to help out the ride? looking for a smooth ride

I run the belltech street performance shocks with a 6" drop in the rear and its smooth, i have to hit a pretty good hump to bottom out

Belltech Street Performance shocks is what you need. Just make sure they are for a 4" rear drop.

what would give me better ride quality using drop shocks or installing Shock Extenders and using a oem or better shock?

Drop shocks would be better and less hassle IMO

i do agree with you but if the quality would be better i'm all for it

Get rid of the drop springs and it'll ride better. There isn't a shock out that will compensate for poor spring rate.

I cant speak for the shock extender on ride, but with my belltechs with a 6" drop on stock tires, ride quality is great, kinda wish i woulda did a 3/5 sometimes but it takes a 4:6 to get them NNBS to the ground lol

I hear what your saying but i bought this truck like this and the stock parts was not included, so before I spend money for stock front springs, leaf springs, shackles to put it back to stock then do a flip with drop spindles up front I want to see if I can get a descent ride with shocks first so my funds can be directed to go fast parts

previous owner installed all this with out a C notch left the stock rear shocks on and just cut the front bump stops a little. the ride quality was horrible, I installed a C notch, cheap shorter rear shocks & just swapped the front bumps stops so its riding much better but still not a good ride
