Default What shocks are better for a DD 4/7?

I have the std Belltech shocks in the rear right now. They are turrible. It feels like they do not start to damp before its too late. Is there a set of shocks that will work with 2" of travel?

2" i assume you dont have a c notch? you are gonna need them for a better ride. you are gonna bottom out with any shock without them. did you at least cut off the bump stop?

I do not have a notch. The *** end chatters all over the place when I hit bumps.

I have been asking this question for 2 years. Everyone else on here seems to think their truck rides fine with my same setup. I just want to know what kind of shocks everyone is using.
